Eddie Henderson (trumpet), Grover Washington Jr. (soprano saxophone), Joe Lovano (tenor saxophone), Cedar Walton (piano), Peter Washington (bass) and Billy Higgins (drums) pay tribute to the fantastic trumpet player Lee Morgan, who was born in 1938 and shot in the Slugs in 1972 Club in New York, after a fight with a friend. Morgan played with Art Blakey, among others. This CD contains the classic
… You Don't Know What Love Is and eight compositions by Morgan, including the hit The Sidewinder, the uptempo Speedball, the bluesy Yama and the ballad Ceora. The performances of the class jazz musicians are beautiful and the recordings are excellent. A worthy tribute! (JW)more
