Description
On one of the most tragic nights in jazz history, Lee Morgan met his untimely death at just 33 years of age. Nevertheless, his abbreviated career saw Morgan collaborating with the likes of John Coltrane, Hank Mobley, Art Blakey, Bobby Timmons and Wayne Shorter to alter the course of musical evolution. As a bandleader, he made seminal contributions to hard bop, free jazz and modal forms, and inadvertently introduced R&B backbeats to instigate a tangent that would come to be known as soul-jazz. This all-star tribute features several artists whose resumes include tenures in Morgan’s band. Eddie Henderson and David Weiss (trumpet), Billy Harper and Benny Maupin (saxophones), Geri Allen (piano), Dwayne Burno (bass) and Billy Hart (drums) add up to a septet that does the man proud.More Info
