AVID Jazz continues with its Four Classic album series with a re-mastered 2CD release from Lee Morgan complete with original artwork and liner notes.
“Dizzy Atmosphere”; “Here’s Lee Morgan”; “Leeway” and “Expoobident”
For someone who died in such horrific circumstances and at such a tragically young age of 33, trumpeter Lee Morgan had an astonishingly prolific career! Most of his musical recording career was spent at Blue Note Records where he made 25 albums under his own name and played countless sessions as a sideman for just about anyone you could think of who passed through the Blue Note studios in the 1950s and 60s. John Coltrane, Art Blakey, Hank Mobley, Jackie McLean, Dizzy Gillespie, Wayne Shorter, Joe Henderson, Freddie Hubbard, McCoy Tyner to name just a few. We have selected four, perhaps not such well known, albums for you to enjoy as our introduction to the great man’s catalogue. You can be sure there will be more to come!
