...Cooker (Lee Morgan, trumpet; Pepper Adams, baritone sax; Bobby Timmons, piano; Paul Chambers, bass; "Philly" Joe Jones, drums; Blue Note). A talented group cooks up some minor frenzies, e.g., A Night in Tunisia, Heavy Dipper, with unabashed spontaneity and irresistible drive. The prize sound is Gillespie Protégé Morgan's trumpet, which speaks hard and clear even when it is going like sixty...
Satchmo:The Musical Autobiography of Louis Armstrong (Decca, 4 LPs). This lushly packaged, $20 salute to the most influential jazz soloist of them all traces his long career from the shouting, heavily riffed style he learned from Joe Oliver in his Chicago days (Dipper Mouth Blues, High Society) to the high, singing lyricism of the late '20s and early '30s, admirably illustrated in one of his own alltime favorites: On the Sunny Side of the Street.

...Alex' backfield coach in the early 19303, Dodd taught the Yellow Jackets a hipper-dipper type of crowd-pleasing ball that he kept right on polishing after he took over from his ailing boss in 1945. Tech backs threw the ball around with gay abandon-forward passes, laterals, double laterals, pass-and-laterals. Everybody got a kick out of the game, especially the alumni who now count 97 regular-season victories, only 27 losses and three ties in twelve Dodd seasons...
