AVID Jazz continues with its Four Classic Albums plus series with a re-mastered 2CD second set release from Lee Morgan complete with original artwork, liner notes and personnel details
“Candy”, “City Lights”, “Indeed!” and “The Cooker”
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 life 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. Here’s just a few... John Coltrane, Art Blakey, Hank Mobley, Jackie McLean, Dizzy Gillespie, Wayne Shorter, Joe Henderson, Freddie Hubbard, McCoy Tyner. For our Second Set from the dynamic young horn-man we have selected four more albums for you to enjoy as we again pay tribute to this fine jazz giant, gone much too early. Jazz greats heard on these four selections include, Sonny Clark, Art Taylor, Doug Watkins, Ray Bryant, Curtis Fuller, Paul Chambers, Pepper Adams, Horace Silver and “Philly” Joe Jones.
