LP – Lee Morgan – Leeway (Classic)

1LP

Lee Morganhadnt cut a Blue Note session for more than two years when he entered Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs on April 28, 1960 to recordLeeway. What was produced that day was vintage hard bop of the highest quality with the trumpeter leading a top-flight quintet featuringJackie McLeanon alto saxophone,Bobby Timmonson piano,Paul Chamberson bass, andArt Blakeyon drums. The 4-song set includes Morgans hard-driving tribute to Blue Notes founders The Lion And The Wolff, McLeans emphatic Midtown Blues, and two pieces by composer Cal Massey: the easy-swinging These Are Soulful Days and rousing Nakatini Suite.
