Sweet Precision.......2007-01-19

If you have a few of Lee's CD's already, this won't dissappoint either. The title track is played first. It starts out like a melodic call then the whole band joins in, a young looking Herbie Hancock is on hand on the piano. This is wonderful music for contemplation because each peice is at least six minutes long, giving one to meld into the improv and tap to the beckoning beat. It is never overdone, it's just right. It's also worth while to read the liner notes written by Bob Blumenthal in 1976. It's very informative and helps with your understanding on what it took to make this music. I appreciate it more so because, I am kinda new to classic jazz and loving it. Make this part of your growing Lee Morgan collection.

One of Morgan's best.......2004-07-21

Well, as good as this session was, Blue Note did not hear a hit, so they decided to let it sit in the valuts 15 years. Then they re-release it in the 90's as a limited edition. The good news is that is still available. The sound is much influenced by Miles great quintet, and Lee sounds a bit restrained. Its similar to "Search for the new Land" but not as good. Still, a very nice album.

A true Lee Morgan Session.......2003-06-07

It is a shame that an album like this would be overlooked and placed as a limited edition Blue Note album. Every song on this album is unique in their own little way and they are all truly brilliant. The line-up is enough to just go get this album, including Bobby Hutcherson, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Billy Higgins, Ron Carter,and of course Lee Morgan. This album mixes a little ballad with a lot of post bop, bluesy material. If you are familiar with Lee Morgan and his earlier work such as Leeway and Sidewinder, you should really check this album out. If not, I recommend strongly checking out stuff he did with Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers such as Moanin', or an earlier Lee album like Leeway. But anyways The Procrastinator should have not procrastinated this long. This is a masterpiece.

one of the best you've never heard of.......2002-12-21

the rhythm section on this miraculous set of music is simply the best on any morgan album i've heard....Carter, Hancock, and Shorter aided in this recording in the midst of their own Nefertiti sessions with (miles)Davis, if that gives any indication of the kind of mix going on here...Carter's unique voice on the bass is perhaps more hearable on this album than others(his interactions with soloists, especially with Shorter, on 'Stopstart'is quite simply disturbing)
But the quality of the actual recording of Procrastinator allows the same to be said for all...Hutcherson and Hancock are like two sides of a coin while Higgins is as usual infectious...
Morgan seems lofted by this stellar cast to some of his best work...
Worthy of note is the fact that Procrastinator is the last recorded display of a certain chemistry shared between Morgan and Shorter which began with their sharing the front line in Blakey's Jazz Messengers(the first recording of this union is Art Blakey's 'Africaine')....Shorter contributes two originals(Dear Sir and Rio)which not only seem to sincerely enhance the total character of 'Procrastinator' - as if they were written specifically for the project and its parameters - but stand quite tall amongst Shorter's own compositional cannon(any fan of Shorter's extraterrestrial writing abilities should perk up at such a statement)...
yet despite the obvious caliber of individual musicians present, there seems to be something uncanny, a.k.a. VERY special, about the sustained mood and sound of Procrastinator as a total project that is not often encountered...LISTEN to this album(particularly 'Stopstart' at high volume)and lose some sonic virginity!

What a long, Sweet Tea it's been.......2001-09-03

The Great Procrastinator is the single most refreshing, and depressing album around. Refreshing in that it finds 5 friends doing what they do best, and serving up an excellent collection of southern pop-rock. Anyone that lives south of the Mason-Dixon can not only tell Hootie apart from Melon, but scoffs at any insinuation that they even sound the same. This album finds the rock rocking, and the ballads as soulful as anything you'll find on a commercial label... without the processed glitz and glam that worked its way ever so slightly into Red Clay Harvest. Every band we are subject to on the radio should sound a quarter this good.

Back to "Depressing". TGP is the swan song of this awesome band. May 19th, 2001 they played their last show and have since moved on to other projects. Get your copy today... I just wish I could package up the live experience for you to enjoy as well.
