1	You Must Believe in Spring (1992) more music like this by Frank Morgan A '92 release by marvelous alto saxophonist Frank Morgan, whose life story and triumph over heroin addiction and imprisonment was one of the '80s' great success tales. Morgan's biting, yet sensitive and rich alto has rightly been traced to Charlie Parker, but Morgan long ago rid his style of any imitative excesses. He was excellently supported on ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
2	Reflections [2005] (2005) more music like this by Frank Morgan Frank Morgan is in a mellow and lyrical mood for this quartet date with Ronnie Mathews, Essiet Essiet, and Billy Hart. The songs are all familiar ones, eight tunes that mean a lot to the altoist. The tempos range from ballads to a medium pace with Morgan taking his time, creating thoughtful and melodic solos that pay tribute to the melodies, his ... see all copies from $14.95! new only from $14.95!
3	Bop (1996) more music like this by Frank Morgan Although all eight selections on this CD have been played many times before (the only song not a boppish warhorse is John Lewis' "Milano"), altoist Frank Morgan makes each of the pieces sound fresh. As producer John Snyder is quoted in the liner notes, this is bop without cliches. Morgan, who is assisted by pianist Rodney Kendrick, drummer Leroy ... see all copies from $6.47! new only from $7.21!
4	Mood Indigo (1989) more music like this by Frank Morgan This ballad-oriented set features veteran altoist Frank Morgan on four duets with pianist George Cables, interacting with either Cables or Ronnie Mathews on piano, bassist Buster Williams and drummer Al Foster on the other selections, and welcoming trumpeter Wynton Marsalis to "Bessie's Blues" and "Up Jumped Spring." Every Morgan recording is well ... see all copies from $1.99!
5	City Nights: Live at the Jazz Standard (2004) more music like this by Frank Morgan Captured live over three evenings in late November 2003 at New York's Jazz Standard, saxophonist Frank Morgan continues to illuminate the Charlie Parker style of bebop he's been playing since the mid-'50s. Morgan is one of the survivors who grew up in that era and has been plagued by drug abuse and stretches in prison for the majority of his life. ... see all copies from $14.95! new only from $14.95!
6	Easy Living (1985) more music like this by Frank Morgan After nearly 30 years off the scene, altoist Frank Morgan made a remarkable comeback. Despite his years in prison and obscurity, he had not lost anything in his playing; in fact, he had grown as an individual. Teamed with pianist Cedar Walton, bassist Tony Dumas and drummer Billy Higgins, Morgan (still just 51) digs into songs by Walton, McCoy ... see all copies from $12.00!
7	Reflections [1988] (1988) more music like this by Frank Morgan All-Stars Altoist Frank Morgan leads an all-star group on this excellent hard bop set. With tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson, vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson, pianist Mulgrew Miller, bassist Ron Carter and drummer Al Foster also in the sextet, it is not surprising that Morgan sounds a bit inspired. The musicians all play up to their usual level, performing ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $10.35!
8	Love, Lost & Found (1995) more music like this by Frank Morgan Frank Morgan moved from Antilles to Telarc with Love, Lost and Found, which emphasizes the altoist's romantic side and boasts Cedar Walton on piano, Ray Brown on bass, and Billy Higgins on drums. Those who had been following Morgan's career knew that he was a magnificent ballad player, and ballads are a very high priority on this CD. Most of the ... see all copies from $5.75! new only from $10.35!
9	Yardbird Suite (1988) more music like this by Frank Morgan Quartet Altoist Frank Morgan explores his bebop roots on this infectious set, playing six bop-era standards (four by his idol Charlie Parker) and "Skylark." With stimulating support from pianist Mulgrew Miller, bassist Ron Carter and drummer Al Foster, Morgan pays tribute to Bird, yet does not copy him (although he has the ability to sometimes sound very ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
10	Listen to the Dawn (1993) more music like this by Frank Morgan Listen to the Dawn is a rare example of Frank Morgan recording an entire album without a pianist. The veteran alto saxophonist, who was only two weeks away from his 60th birthday when this post-bop/be bop CD was recorded, evidently wanted to try something a bit different -- and it was a move that paid off creatively. Whether he's forming an ... see all copies from $3.86!
11 view cover	Central Avenue Reunion (1989) more music like this by Art Farmer with Frank Morgan Three of the five musicians on this quintet date (flügelhornist Art Farmer, altoist Frank Morgan, and pianist Lou Levy) had played on Central Avenue in Los Angeles of the late '40s. Not all of the eight songs that they perform with bassist Eric Von Essen and drummer Albert "Tootie" Heath are from the era ("Blue Minor" and "Cool Struttin'" were ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!

14 view cover	A Lovesome Thing (1990) more music like this by Frank Morgan Altoist Frank Morgan's unlikely comeback after 30 years off the scene was a successful fact by 1990. For this Antilles CD he is heard with a fine rhythm section (pianist George Cables, bassist David Williams and drummer Lewis Nash) and welcomes trumpeter Roy Hargrove to three songs. Guest singer Abbey Lincoln takes vocals on "Ten Cents A Dance" ... see all copies from $7.00!

16 view cover	Lush Life: The Billy Strayhorn Songbook (1950) more music like this by Various Artists As an informal soundtrack for his revealing biography of Billy Strayhorn, Lush Life, David Hajdu selected and annotated the tracks for this rambling dig through the PolyGram archives. In doing so, Hajdu ranges far afield in date and idiom, yet the overall impression is amazingly consistent Strayhorn as an elegant yet haunted musical figure whose ... see all copies from $4.62!
17 view cover	Bird Lives! (1992) more music like this by Various Artists Also see Joe Albany. Outstanding solos by Art Pepper (as) and Frank Morgan (sax). A nice tribute to Bird. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $3.98!

19 view cover	Lament (1986) more music like this by Frank Morgan Frank Morgan's comeback (he had gone 30 years between recordings) was a major story in the mid-1980s. For his third record as a leader (which only followed his second by less than a year), the altoist is once again matched up with pianist Cedar Walton and drummer Billy Higgins, although this time Buster Williams is on bass. Morgan mixes together a ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
20 view cover	Double Image (1986) more music like this by Frank Morgan with George Cables This set of duets features altoist Frank Morgan (making such a successful comeback that he led three albums during 1986 alone) and pianist George Cables (who would also record notable duets with Art Pepper). Most of the material is of fairly recent vintage, but even the two potential warhorses ("All the Things You Are" and "After You've Gone") ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
21 view cover	A Night in the Life: Live at the Jazz Standard, Vol. 3 (2007) more music like this by Frank Morgan Frank Morgan's final release while still alive stands as a testament to his gentle, unassuming soul, his fluid drive playing the bop music born from the seeds and stems germinated by Charlie Parker, and his ability to touch a live audience with music. This third volume of club dates at the Jazz Standard in New York City falls along the lines of ... see all copies from $14.95! new only from $14.95!

23 view cover	Central Avenue Sounds: Jazz in Los Angeles 1921-1956 (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Los Angeles is not usually seen as a hotbed of African-American musical creativity in the first half of the 20th century, but this deluxe box set deflates that misconception in a hurry. From 1921 to 1956 -- the time frame covered by the four discs of Central Avenue Sounds -- jazz of all kinds flourished on Central Avenue, L.A.'s main stem of sepia ... see all copies from $52.90! new only from $52.90!

Morgan takes "Come Sunday" as his ballad feature, really putting a lot of emotion into the piece, and performs five bop ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
25 view cover	Major Changes (1987) more music like this by Frank Morgan and the McCoy Tyner Trio Although associated with bebop, altoist Frank Morgan emerged on records in 1985 as a forward-thinking soloist with a gradually evolving sound of his own (despite being in his early 50s). On this worthy set, he is joined by the McCoy Tyner Trio (which consists of the masterful pianist, bassist Avery Sharpe and drummer Louis Hayes) for mostly modern ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
