Lee Morgan: Live at the Lighthouse, 1970
Lee Morgan Quintet - The Sidewinder
Lee Morgan Quintet - I Remember Britt
From Lee Morgan Live at The Lighthouse: Blue Note CDP 7243 8 35228 2 8 [Buy]
One of trumpeter Lee Morgan's classic bands caught in full flight at The Lighthouse, Hermosa Beach, California, in July 1970. Unrepentant, hard-blowing hard bop at a time when the winds of change were sweeping through the music. 18 months later, Lee Morgan was shot dead by his wife in New York, aged 33.
This is the BEST version of The Sidewinder available (in my opinion) - check Bennie Maupin's solo ! And the Harold Mabern tune I Remember Britt is a nod towards a style of soul-jazz that would dominate the coming decade.

The Spanish Bootleg Cover
The band is Lee Morgan (tp/flh), Bennie Maupin (ts/fl), Harold Mabern (p), Jymie Merritt (b), Mickey Roker (d). These recordings were unavailable for many years except as bootlegs, until Blue Note did a fine job assembling a 3-disc box set in 1995.
And congrats to Brother B. on his exciting new job.
