They got this one right (great compilation).......2005-03-23
A 'Best Of' CD that actually is!.......2003-10-10
This gathering of tracks fron Mr. Morgan's library were spot on. Starting with the mid-tempo, but loungy sounds of Ceora will have your head nodding from the word go. The smoky sound of the 1957 tune, "I Remember Clifford", actually can bring a tear to your eye, but joy to your heart when you hear it. It really doesn't get too much better than this.
What made me pick up this Lee Morgan was my daughter's comment that Miles Davis was the only Jazz trumpeter that she had heard of playing in our house. Although Miles is considered to be the king of this thing, there are many, many loyal subjects that add very well to the genre!
Why not add some Lee Morgan to your library, and in the process follow up with some: Clifford Brown, Nicholas Payton & Art Blakey offerings, you'll be glad you did!
for Rockers who want to hear Jazz with a beat!!!!!!!!!!!.......2001-11-27
The kind of happy upbeat stuff that seemed to end with the end of the sixties.
In the sixties, Jazz artists were dismayed to see so much of the young audience listening to Rock.
Lee Morgan recorded "Sidewinder", his most consistant album. The title track has a 4/4 Rock drum beat, a soul/funk/boogaloo bass line and rapid fire very close harmony trumpet and tenor sax jazz lines on top. The critics at the time called it a sell-out, but it was very popular. Sidewinder, and the albums that followed like "Cornbread" were attempts at Jazz/Rock Fusion from a completely different direction than Miles Davis Fusion "Bitches Brew".
Morgan did many subsequent albums with this same formula, one funky Jazz song with a rock beat and a bunch of often lesser cuts, for most of the sixties, trying to recreate this magic formula.
I always associate him with his best tenor player, Hank Mobley - these were called "M & M's". It sounds like he and his tenor play are joined at the hip or read each other's minds. I was surprised to see how many of these songs on this sampler were NOT recorded with Mobley!
Nevertheless, Blue Note has skimmed most of the funky boogaloo creme of the Lee Morgan albums and put them all on one CD. Also, the cha-cha "Ceora" and some ballads, too. Good mix.
A great intro to Lee Morgan.
This is a great music for Rockers who think they don't like Jazz or Rockers who want to hear more Jazz. Infectious, once you hear it, it stays in your head.
The music is 5 star but short compilation is injustice.......1999-07-07
