Today We Honor Lee Morgen

Lee Morgan was one of hard bop’s greatest trumpeters, and indeed one of the finest players of the ‘60s. An all-around master of his instrument modeled after Clifford Brown, Morgan boasted an effortless, virtuosic technique and a full, supple, muscular tone that was just as powerful in the high register.

His playing was always emotionally charged, regardless of the specific mood: cocky and exuberant on uptempo groovers, blistering on bop-oriented technical showcases, sweet and sensitive on ballads.

In his early days as a teen prodigy, Morgan was a busy soloist with a taste for long, graceful lines, and honed his personal style while serving an apprenticeship in both Dizzy Gillespie’s big band and Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers.

Due to the crossover success of “The Sidewinder” in a rapidly changing pop music market, Blue Note encouraged its other artists to emulate the tune’s “boogaloo” beat. Morgan himself repeated the formula several times with compositions such as “Cornbread” (from the eponymous album Cornbread) and “Yes I Can, No You Can’t” on The Gigolo.

L’assassinio di Lee Morgan: una storia di troppo amore

Lee Morgan, l’assassinio 🛑Prima l’ha fatto rinascere, poi l’ha ucciso 👇 #boomerissimo #leemorgan #truecrime #jazz #bluenote #UnoRadio

Lee Morgan era un jazzista pieno di vita, di genio, di stile e di amore. Troppo amore per troppe cose. Gli è costato una pallottola nel petto. Sono stato tarantolato dal jazz all’età in cui altri hanno scoperto le carte dei Pokemon. Mi frugo in fondo alle tasche da sempre per contare gli spicci che servono ad aggiungere al mio scaffale un altro disco, un altro libro. O, da quando ho cominciato…

I’ve had this classic in my collection since the mid 70’s. My first version was a blue labeled UA I purchased at 3rd Street Jazz in Philly. My next version was purchased in Okinawa, Japan in 1981 which I still have in my collection today. My next version was purchased in the late 80’s and it was on CD. I replaced that with a RVG remaster I got at the now defunct Borders Book Store in 2005. This version in my hand is the latest from #musicmattersjazz and their SRX Series that are selling like hot cakes. They went on sale a couple weeks ago and are already sold out. #Jazz #LeeMorgan #ArtBlakey #BlueNoteRecords #BennyGolson #BobbyTimmons #3rdStreetJazz https://www.instagram.com/p/B8BeoSQHpfn/?igshid=1xm2hyvj9t1qf
