Originally recorded in February 1960 and released on the Vee-Jay label, Here's Lee Morgan stands as the trumpeter's 10th album and a landmark entry in hard bop. Morgan leads a powerhouse ensemble featuring Clifford Jordan on tenor sax, Wynton Kelly on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and the legendary Art Blakey on drums — a lineup that crackles with energy from start to finish across six hard-driving cuts.
This reissue, part of the Original Jazz Classics series from Craft Recordings, brings Here's Lee Morgan back to life with AAA lacquers cut from the original master tapes by Kevin Gray and pressed at RTI on 180-gram vinyl, delivering the warmth and immediacy this music deserves. The album opens with Blakey's rollicking drum intro on "Terrible 'T'" and builds through nearly eight minutes of Morgan's own "Mogie," showcasing the infectious interplay and bold musicianship that made this session a standout of the era.
