Morning is an album by American pianist Kenny Drew recorded in 1975 and released on SteepleChase Records in 1976. The album was first issued on CD in 1987 with a slightly different cover. "An Evening in the Park" is about an early spring, peaceful bicycling through Copenhagen's Fælledparken, a park not far from Drew's home back then. "Morning" was originally written for three instruments, but in the studio Pedersen suggested that Drew and Philip Catherine should try it as a duo.[3]
