Description
Lee Morgan - 'The Gigolo" This numbered, lovingly produced and manufactured Music Matters/Blue Note release features heavy vinyl, gorgeous photography, heavy stock covers, and perfect construction.
This is a true gem of the Blue Note catalogue, and one of Lee Morgan’s most beloved albums. All Music Guide gives the album 4 and 1/2 out of 5 stars and says:
Lee Morgan was the leading trumpeter in hard bop during the 1960s and he recorded quite a few classic albums for Blue Note. This is one of them. The CD reissue (which adds an alternate take of the title cut to the original five-song program) features Morgan at his best, whether playing his memorable blues "Speed Ball," an explorative ballad version of "You Go to My Head," a lengthy "The Gigolo," or his other two originals ("Yes I Can, No You Can't" and "Trapped"). There are no weak selections on this set and the playing by the leader, Wayne Shorter on tenor, pianist Harold Mabern, bassist Bob Cranshaw, and drummer Billy Higgins is beyond any serious criticism.
