I had the good fortune of meeting Frank Morgan 15yrs ago at all places a gas station on Highway 66 in VA on my way home from Wash DC. I was a music major in college and he rapped with me for about an hour on all kinds of things. Practicing the right things. Then, forgetting about the things you practice and just play you. He was on his way to Charlottesville, Va where he was living at the time. He was very kind and enlightened me tremendously! A beautiful cat and very modest jazzman. RIP Frank.

Love his style. As said, nothing to prove, just some nice relaxed blowing (making it all look so easy ...). Like the sitting down approach. He should have a cat curled up on his lap (my one just runs away when I blow ...).

I loved this. So relaxed and swinging. Just playing, not trying to prove anything.

Frank Morgan was an amazing human being, a first class and world class musician and and inspiration to people he touched all over the world

[zajj79]

I meant "kinder, more affable, more warm, etc"

[zajj79]

Beautiful. I met Frank when he was playing at the Iridium, and he couldn't have been kinder, affable, warm or more willing to talk...what a beautiful musician and man. Tha you Frank for the inspiration! (And a huge thanks Postbop for posting!).
