It offers one of the rare opportunities to see Lee Morgan on film (he was 23 at the time). A Japanese big band joins the group for the last two tunes. Also included is another complete rare appearance by the Jazz Messengers with Lee Morgan, this time in London, four years later, and including John Gilmore on tenor sax, John Hicks on piano and Victor Sproles on bass.
