Lee Morgan - The Gigolo (Blue Note, US 1968 mono).

Rare mono version provided to radio stations that had yet to convert to stereo transmission.

An "audition mono LP not for sale" sticker is placed over the word "stereo" on the cover.

With Lee Morgan (trumpet), Wayne Shorter (tenor sax), Harold Mabern, Jr. (piano), Bob Cranshaw (bass), Billy Higgins (drums).

Great album !

This is sublime and still sounds damn funky sixty years after its initial recording:

Another Sunday & I’m by & the Jazz Messengers.

This adds bringing Mingus-eque vibes on the trombone, but, imo, is the star unleashing some killer sax. Plus it has the irrepressible who is worth the price of entry alone.

This is cut by as part of the Classics series which, in a world of spiraling costs, still represents great value.

Lee Morgan - The Cooker

After @AndyT pointed this one out, I thought it would be impossible to get...and it was for a while. But - lucky for me - it was repressed!

Another great Rudy van Gelder recording for Blue Note, and a great set by the incredibly talented, and ridiculously young, Lee Morgan, starting with A Night in Tunesia by his mentor Dizzy Gillespie. (The rest of the band is great too; these are classic recordings for a reason.)

Long day & in need of a pick me up & so I’m by and the Jazz Messengers.

’ is my favourite Blakey album with this a very close second. The lineup here is peerless, , , , & Blakey just smokes.

Every track is a winner & It’s Only A Paper Moon is one hell of a way to sign off.

This is another cut from the consistently great Classics series.

This, I think, is quite special: the reissue of by .

This has become quite rare of late & I was fortunate to pick up a NM copy (in reality, unplayed) for, basically, retail.

The album itself is glorious. I love Morgan (with & without Blackey) - he blows with such ferocious energy, while never less than melodic & soulful. He is one of my favourite artists &, imo, second only to Miles on the horn.

to by . My favourite artists, ranked in order, are likely , , , , & . & this is one of my favourite albums by Mingus.

Recorded live, it doesn’t really sound like anything else of that time. Explosive, & yet disciplined; melodic & yet cacophonous: if, in 1960, there was such a thing as jazz-punk, then this is it.

This reissue by is impeccable.

Today's random task: Keeping up with my daily writing goal, as a nor'easter rages outside.
Soundtrack: Live At The Lighthouse, by .
Result: Snow! sleet! rain! Under grim New England skies, I play this three-hour album, recorded live in July 1970 in Hermosa Beach, California. It's all brilliant and breezy and feels far away from here. Cambridge, Massachusetts.
