The Dick Morrissey Quartet: "Have You Heard?" 77 Records

Produced by Doug Dobell, there is some speculation as to weather this LP and all other releases on 77 records were only available from his shop (Dobells) Whatever the case, Have You Heard is a great LP featuring Harry South (Piano) Dick Morrissey (Tenor) Phil Bales (Bass) and Jackie Dougan (Drums). Morrissey was the ripe old age of 23 when he made this LP in association with the Ronnie Scott Jazz Club. It seems Ronnie was impressed enough by Morrissey to write. Speaking as a Tenor Saxophonist on a scene where work is strictly limited I am of the opinion that there is only one thing to do with young instrumentalists of Dick Morrissey’s undoubted talent: SHOOT THEM. Sadly my copy of this LP has had a tough paper round, apologies for the crap sound. The track included here is called. “The Celt”.
