1	The Sidewinder (1963) more music like this by Lee Morgan Carried by its almost impossibly infectious eponymous opening track, The Sidewinder helped foreshadow the sounds of boogaloo and soul-jazz with its healthy R&B influence and Latin tinge. While the rest of the album retreats to a more conventional hard bop sound, Morgan's compositions are forward-thinking and universally solid. Only 25 at the time ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $10.50!
2	Lee-Way (1960) more music like this by Lee Morgan This date was one of trumpeter Lee Morgan's more obscure Blue Note sessions, but fortunately, it has been reissued on CD. Matched with altoist Jackie McLean, pianist Bobby Timmons, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Art Blakey, Morgan interprets two of Cal Massey's compositions, McLean's "Midtown Blues" and his own blues "The Lion and the Wolf." ... see all copies from $6.99! new only from $10.50!
3	Search for the New Land (1964) more music like this by Lee Morgan This set (the CD reissue is a duplicate of the original LP) is one of the finest Lee Morgan records. The great trumpeter contributes five challenging compositions ("Search for the New Land," "The Joker," "Mr. Kenyatta," "Melancholee," and "Morgan the Pirate") that deserve to be revived. Morgan, tenor saxophonist Wayne Shorter, guitarist Grant ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
4	Cornbread (1965) more music like this by Lee Morgan This session (reissued on CD by Blue Note) is best known for introducing Lee Morgan's beautiful ballad "Ceora," but actually all five selections (which include Morgan's "Cornbread," "Our Man Higgins," "Most Like Lee," and the standard "Ill Wind") are quite memorable. The trumpeter/leader performs with a perfectly complementary group of open-minded ... see all copies from $10.50! new only from $10.50!
5	The Procrastinator (1967) more music like this by Lee Morgan It is surprising that Lee Morgan's The Procrastinator was not released when it was recorded in 1967 for the sextet (which includes Wayne Shorter, vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson, pianist Herbie Hancock, bassist Ron Carter and drummer Billy Higgins) lives up to their potential on a well-rounded set of originals by Morgan and Shorter. The music ranges ... see all copies from $10.50! new only from $10.50!
6	The Best of Lee Morgan (1957) more music like this by Lee Morgan Curious listeners who encounter Lee Morgan for the first time through this single-disc anthology will come away mightily impressed, even inspired, but they will be hearing only the first part of the story. The album picks up on his teenage whiz kid days circa 1957, then jumps ahead to his renaissance in 1963-1965 as the high priest of hard bop ... see all copies from $7.99! new only from $14.56!
7	Standards (1967) more music like this by Lee Morgan This session headed by trumpeter Lee Morgan was not initially released until this 1998 CD. Morgan is joined by an all-star cast of James Spaulding on flute and alto, tenor saxophonist Wayne Shorter, baritonist Pepper Adams, pianist Herbie Hancock, bassist Ron Carter and drummer Mickey Roker, but the music overall is not all that memorable. Most of ... see all copies from $11.64! new only from $11.75!
8	Tom Cat (1964) more music like this by Lee Morgan It seems strange that the music on this CD was not released initially until 1980. Trumpeter Lee Morgan had had an unexpected hit with "The Sidewinder," so his more challenging recordings were temporarily put aside. As it turns out, this was one of Morgan's better sets from the 1960s and he had gathered together quite an all-star cast: altoist ... see all copies from $10.50! new only from $10.50!
9	Charisma (1966) more music like this by Lee Morgan This set (reissued on CD in 1997) was one of trumpeter Lee Morgan's lesser-known Blue Note recordings but it is quite rewarding. The notable sextet (which also includes altoist Jackie McLean, Hank Mobley on tenor, pianist Cedar Walton, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Billy Higgins) performs originals by Morgan, Walton and Duke Pearson, including ... see all copies from $10.50! new only from $10.50!
10	Caramba! (1968) more music like this by Lee Morgan Until its 1996 reissue, this was one of the most obscure of all Lee Morgan Blue Note albums. A transitional effort that finds the trumpeter gradually moving beyond hard bop into more modal music, the date starts out with the surprisingly derivative title cut which is very similar to Eddie Harris' "Listen Here." Of the other selections, "Soulita" ... see all copies from $8.50! new only from $8.50!
11	The Rajah (1966) more music like this by Lee Morgan This long-lost Lee Morgan session was not released for the first time until it was discovered in the Blue Note vaults by Michael Cuscuna in 1984; it has still not been reissued on CD. Originals by Cal Massey, Duke Pearson ("Is That So") and Walter Davis, in addition to a couple of surprising pop tunes ("What Not My Love" and "Once in My Lifetime") ... see all copies from $19.94!
12	Live at the Lighthouse [Blue Note] (1970) more music like this by Lee Morgan This three-CD set from Blue Note expands trumpeter Lee Morgan's original two-LP set from four selections to 12. Morgan's music had become much more modal by this time, heavily influenced by John Coltrane, although some of the previously unissued numbers (including a remake of his popular "The Sidewinder") are a bit more straight-ahead. Bennie ... see all copies from $34.81! new only from $34.81!
13 view cover	Birth of Hard Bop (1956) more music like this by Lee Morgan/Donald Byrd/Hank Mobley The Birth of Hard Bop explores Savoy sessions from tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley and trumpeters Donald Byrd and Lee Morgan early in their careers. The majority of material has been previously released, however five alternate and previously unissued takes are included. Recorded between January and November 1956, with Mobley as the leader, playing ... see all copies from $27.02! new only from $27.02!
14 view cover	Candy (1957) more music like this by Lee Morgan Recorded when he was only 19, Candy was one of the first albums (along with The Cooker, recorded the same year) where Lee Morgan showed his own unique style. His prodigal technical virtuosity had already been proven at this time in the Dizzy Gilliespie band, but Morgan's first solo ventures had been remarkable only because of his young age. Here, ... see all copies from $10.50! new only from $10.50!
15 view cover	The Rumproller (1965) more music like this by Lee Morgan To follow up on his unexpected boogaloo hit "The Sidewinder," Lee Morgan recorded Andrew Hill's somewhat similar "The Rumproller" but this time the commercial magic was not there. However the trumpeter, tenor-saxophonist Joe Henderson, pianist Ronnie Mathews, bassist Victor Sproles and drummer Billy Higgins all play quite well on the title cut, ... see all copies from $10.50! new only from $10.50!
16 view cover	The Gigolo (1965) more music like this by Lee Morgan Lee Morgan was the leading trumpeter in hard bop during the 1960s and he recorded quite a few classic albums for Blue Note. This is one of them. The CD reissue (which adds an alternate take of the title cut to the original five-song program) features Morgan at his best, whether playing his memorable blues "Speed Ball," an explorative ballad ... see all copies from $11.95!
17 view cover	The Very Best (2005) more music like this by Lee Morgan Hard bop trumpeter Lee Morgan and Blue Note Records had somewhat of a symbiotic relationship in the '50s and '60s, with the label giving Morgan both a home and a center in what was a frequently turbulent life, and with 1963's "The Sidewinder," a left-field pop hit, Morgan gave Blue Note a life-sustaining influx of cool cash. This Blue Note sampler ... see all copies from $11.12! new only from $11.12!
18 view cover	The Sixth Sense (1967) more music like this by Lee Morgan For this lesser-known Lee Morgan LP, the trumpeter was starting to stretch beyond hard bop into more modal areas while retaining his easily recognizable sound. None of Morgan's originals (which are performed along with pianist Cedar Walton's "Afreaka" and Cal Massey's "The Cry of My People") caught on, but the music is creatively performed by the ... see all copies from $11.95! new only from $11.95!
19 view cover	Lee Morgan, Vol. 2 (1956) more music like this by Lee Morgan see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
20 view cover	Delightfulee (1966) more music like this by Lee Morgan As Lee Morgan's career moved from hard and post-bop to soul-jazz, Delightfulee serves as a further bridge in a half-and-half fashion. Four of the seven cuts feature his potent quintet with a young and emerging tenor saxophonist, Joe Henderson, as his front line mate, McCoy Tyner ever brilliant on piano, and Billy Higgins firing up the rhythm as ... see all copies from $12.17! new only from $12.17!
21 view cover	Dizzy Atmosphere (1957) more music like this by Lee Morgan and Wynton Kelly This somewhat obscure Lee Morgan set (originally cut for Specialty and made available on CD in the OJC series) features the trumpeter with other then-current members of the Dizzy Gillespie big band: trombonist Al Grey, tenor saxophonist Billy Mitchell, baritonist Billy Root, pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul West and drummer Charlie Persip. With ... see all copies from $11.96! new only from $13.03!
22 view cover	Music for Lovers (2006) more music like this by Lee Morgan This edition of Blue Note's Music for Lovers set combines nine remastered tracks by hard bop trumpeter Lee Morgan recorded between 1957 and 1967. Obviously, the purpose of this CD is to spotlight Morgan's romantic side by featuring such standards as "You Go to My Head," "What Now My Love," and "Lover Man." The trumpeter is in excellent company on ... see all copies from $11.04! new only from $11.13!
23 view cover	Finest in Jazz (2007) more music like this by Lee Morgan Here's a perfect example of a recording that holds great merit for the most part, but is flawed. A CD of Lee Morgan's work from the Blue Note label in the '60s should last longer than a mere 42 minutes on CD, and should definitely be packed to the brim with his very finest music. Half of the six tracks are among his best: "The Sidewinder," "Ceora, ... see all copies from $9.39! new only from $9.39!
24 view cover	The Cooker [RVG] (2006) more music like this by Lee Morgan The Cooker was released in 1957 when Lee Morgan was a tough, forward-thinking young trumpeter of nineteen. This session placed him in the company of veteran players such as baritone saxophonist Pepper Adams, swinging pianist Bobby Timmons, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Philly Joe Jones. The music, a collection of boppers such as Dizzy's "A ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
