24 BIT DIGITALLY REMASTERED 3 LPs on 2 CDs STEREO When Dick Morgan emerged on the jazz scene in 1960, he was already a fluent and richly soulful young pianist who named Oscar Peterson and Erroll Garner as primary inspirations. Impressed with his talent when he heard him at the Showboat in Washington DC, Julian "Cannonball" Adderley set up his first recording on the Riverside label. This set includes the three albums he recorded for Riverside, "At The Showboat," "See What I Mean?," and "Settlin" In", where he transformed some standards and originals into blues- drenched personal mes- sages, flavoured with elements of Wynton Kelly and Red Garland. It was a notable amalgam and with it he subsequently and gradually built a loyal and responsive audience, finding his best and most characteristic groove a wonderfully compelling manner, strong, swinging, melodic and earthy. Not for nothing, today he is the 81-year-old dean of Washington DC jazz piano.
