LEE MORGAN - THE SIDEWINDER (LP + CD)

Timeless Blue Note Releases on LP & CD in One Package! No music label represented the classic era better than Blue Note Records and now they're proudly unveiling the first group in their series of Vinyl + Bonus CD reissues of the cream of the crop classics from the Blue Note Vaults! Each LP is mastered from the original analog tapes by Ron McMaster. Each state-of-the-art CD is mastered in 24-bit by Rudy Van Gelder, the original recording engineer of these historic sessions. These releases are iconic, not just for the music inside, but also for the stunning, legendary album covers, which are works of art in themselves.

The Sidewinder is a jazz classic if there ever was one and it also happens to be Lee Morgan's best-selling album! Sure, you've probably heard "The Sidewinder" enough that you think you know the album already, but the rest of the cuts really open up past the title track groover, into a realm of lyrical, soulful playing that's simply tremendous! In fine support of Morgan on The Sidewinder is Joe Henderson on tenor, Barry Harris on piano, Bob Crenshaw on bass and Billy Higgins on drums. The album rolls along with a sense of perfect focus and power that is Blue Note at its best! Titles include "Sidewinder," "Gary's Notebook," "Hocus-Pocus" and "Totem Pole." CD version includes the alternative take bonus track "Totem Pole."
