Lee Morgan Cornbread LP

31 mei 2019

Tone Poet

Take a look at the sextet trumpeter Lee Morgan assembled for this epic session recorded in September
1965: Hank Mobley and Jackie McLean on tenor and alto saxophone, respectively, Herbie Hancock on piano,
Larry Ridley on bass, and Billy Higgins on drums. From the funky first notes of the opening title track to the
gorgeous, soon-to-be-standard “Ceora” to the hard-charging closer “Most Like Lee” Cornbread captures
Morgan and everyone involved at their absolute best.
