	Lee Morgan in the 60s: The Hard Bop Homepage
		When Lee Morgan first burst onto the New York jazz scene in the mid-1950s, I was struck by the particularly clear relationship between the young trumpeter's musical style and his style off the stand.
		At the beginning of his career, Lee Morgan was impressive in terms of the carefree ebullience of his spirit and his often dazzling technique.
		To this listener, the current Lee Morgan is more impressive because in the past eight years, Lee has considerably expanded his knowledge about himself; and consequently, his music encompasses a broader and, I feel, a deeper range of emotion.

	'Taru' by Lee Morgan on Etherbeat
		By the time of this 1968 session, the quintessential hard-bop trumpeter Lee Morgan, was stretching in several directions at once, pushing into freer forms and also pressing the crossover funk market that he had tapped so brilliantly with The Sidewinder.
		This is one of Lee Morgan's later albums in which he finally begins to break out of the mold that The Sidewinder put him in.
		Morgan solos here with almost as much poise as on 'Haeschen.' Despite the incredible playing by Maupin (it's a shame he isn't more well-known), and the new inventiveness of Morgan, the album remains four stars due to the remaining tracks.

	Sidewinder - Lee Morgan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Philadelphia-born trumpeter and superb bop stylist Lee Morgan apprenticed with Dizzy Gillespie and Art Blakey before emerging as a leader in his own right in the early '60s for Blue Note Records.
		Although Morgan owed a stylistic debt to both Gillespie and Clifford Brown, he quickly developed a voice of his own that combined half-valve effects, Latin inflections, and full, fluid melodies.
		Morgan's catalogue is full of winners, but if you have to start with one album, many would agree that "The Sidewinder" is the one to get.

		Lee Morgan was murdered on the bandstand in 1972.
		Lee Morgan represented, like John Coltrane, the search for musical perfection - and through this, spiritual enlightenment.
		My favorite Lee Morgan album is, by far, Infinity from 1965 - this modal jazz, where Morgan and Jackie McLean (among others) blaze and soar over repeated piano riffs, is borrowed heavily from Coltrane's quartet of a few years earlier which produced My Favorite Things.

	Freddie Hubbard or Lee Morgan - Jazz Bulletin Board
		It is very difficlut to describe the differences, but in a way I sort of rate Lee as the more personal artist with a particualr skill for adding drama and pathos to hs playing and also a very serious composer while Freddie more was the elitist trumpeter that seemed to could play a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g.
		Lee Morgan is a perfect listen for that sixties Blue Note sound.
		Lee Morgan is my favorite overall trumpet player so far though, so he gets the nod.

	Bagatellen: Lee Morgan - Unforgettable Lee! (Fresh Sound)
		The 1960 edition of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers -- featuring Wayne Shorter, lee Morgan, Bobby Timmons and Jymie Merritt -- was an explosive unit, and one whose star soloists were also masters of their own brand of "sick" humor -- as such yuks were known in the late 1950's from which these men were departing.
		But Lee Morgan's odyssey is both one of the most personal and most informative in all of jazz's history.
		It may be that Morgan recorded too prolifically for his own posterity -- a pretty counter-intuitive notion, that -- but most analyses of Morgan's work do him a disservice, sputtering out into claims that he made a number of largely indistinguishable, boogaloo-bloated albums after returning from his a sabbatical in his native Philadelphia in 1963.

		Undoubtedly one of the finest trumpeters in the history of Jazz, Morgan seems barely to break a sweat during the title track, and yet exploits the groove with precision and energy.
		Recorded in 1963 - way before "jazz/funk" was invented - Lee Morgan lays down its perfect template by creating an insidious riff that captures & holds the listener's attention while inviting improvisation from a superbly tight band that includes Joe Henderson on sax and the wonderful Bob Cranshaw on bass.
		Morgan, but some of the hottest solo pieces from the rest of the guys too -sax, piano and some unbelievable bass.

		During this period, Morgan was under contract to Vee Jay.
		The preference for good composition reflects the influence of producers Alfred Lion and Francis Wolff, whose names here adorn the title of Lee Morgan's unusually constructed blues (4+6+2), "The Lion and the Wolff." Jackie McLean also contributes one of his quirky compositions, a blues that employs stop time in its very first measure.
