Jazz Trumpet -Trading 4's- "Whisper Not" Cullen Knight

http://www.cullenknightmusic.com/

Jazz trumpet player Cullen Knight trading fours (live jazz) on Benny Golson's Whisper Not at a Philadelphia Jazz club The Starlite Lounge June 26, 1965: Bill Byrd -- drums, Fred Simmons -- piano, Henry Grimes -- bass. This is an unadulterated live acoustic recording -- Henry Grimes is playing an unamplified acoustic bass.

"The Life and Times of Cullen Knight" Vol. 1/2

RALPH: Cullen, let me tell you something, man -- This girl that I had been trying to hook-up with for months finally broke down, and said "meet me at the Starlite Lounge tonight" I got to Starlite, opened the door and stepped three steps down into the club - and the music hit me like a right-hook, Man! I don't know if, the lady showed up or not from that moment on I was a JazzMan!

Wow sounds a lot like Lee Morgan ... I guess he heard him plenty around that time.
