Widely regarded as one of the most essential hard bop recordings, Lee Morgan’s The Sidewinder stands as a milestone in jazz history. Recorded on December 21, 1963 and released by Blue Note, the album showcases Morgan’s spirited trumpet work and the chemistry of his ensemble, including memorable performances by pianist Barry Harris and saxophonist Joe Henderson.
