LEE MORGAN - LEE-WAY (200g MONO LP)

Lee-Way is a unique album within Lee Morgan's vast and rich Blue Note discography. With then current employer Art Blakey, band mate Bobby Timmons on piano, Paul Chambers on bass and Jackie McLean on alto saxophone, the trumpeter abandons time constraints and stretches out on four, soulful, hard-bop compositions. These hard bop masters are constantly inspired by Blakey's explosive grooves. "The Lion And the Wolff" is a playful tribute to two of the founding principals of Blue Note, Alfred Lion and Francis Wolff, with the other highlight being what could be, a definitive version of Cal Massey’s classic “These Are Soulful Days.”

As part of the Classic Blue Note Signature LP Reissue Series this reissue was mastered and cut from the original analog master tapes on Classic’s ALL TUBE MONO cutting system and features authentic tip on jackets with film laminate front covers.
