It's Morrissey, Man! is an album by saxophonist Dick Morrissey. It was recorded on 27 April 1961. It was Morrissey's first album as a leader. The liner notes were written by Benny Green. In 1998, Polygram's Redial division, run by Richard Cook, reissued the album as a CD.
Reception
A contemporaneous Jazz Journal review commented: "Morrissey is well able to sustain interest over several choruses, and builds his solos excellently. Jones [on piano] is far less impressive, and his solos are almost invariably an anticlimax. Cecil and Barnes [bass and drums] work together well, and provide a driving beat." Four decades later, a Daily Telegraph writer stated that the album had "caused a great stir among musicians and jazz insiders but failed to register greatly with the wider jazz public".
