LEE MORGAN - LEE-WAY (LP)

Lee Morgan Lee-Way on Vinyl LP! 

An undisputed masterpiece by Lee Morgan and one of the first records in which he shed his straight bop sensibility and began evolving into a soulful genius for the 60s! The album's got 4 long tracks that all build beautifully and hint at some of the more complicated touches he'd use on later sessions. All players are great and include fellow Jazz Messengers Bobby Timmons on piano and Art Blakey on drums, plus Jackie McLean on alto and Paul Chambers on bass. Titles include the sublime "These Are Soulful Days," a perfect model of soulful lyricism plus "Midtown Blues," "Nakatini Suite" and "The Lion & The Wolff."
