No trumpet player embodies the spirit, energy and fearlessness of our instrument like the great Lee Morgan. Freddie Hubbard used to speak of how Lee could win the crowd with his clever soul drenched lines. This Live at the Lighthouse date includes classic Lee Morgan with all the fire and energy that you would expect on any of his recordings. Most of the songs were written by other band members and each is a real treat as the artists explore, stretch and pull the material to its limits. Of course no Morgan date would be complete without a performance of ?The Sidewinder.? I particular enjoyed hearing Lee?s voice introduce the tunes and band members. Here was another great talent taken away from us way too soon.
