Descripción
There is no real explanation for Lee Morgan's greatness. He emerged in 1956 as a
precocious 18-year old already recording for Blue Note and performing as one of
the stars of the Dizzy Gillespie Orchestra. He continued to grow during his
years with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers and in the 1960s was jazz's leading
trumpeter. In 1965 when he recorded The Gigolo, Morgan was still only 27 yet had
already created a lifetime of exciting music. On The Gigolo, he builds upon his
earlier successes and plays with a brilliance only reached by the most immortal
of jazz musicians. His four originals include the original version of his
memorable blues "Speed Ball," and he really digs into "You Go To My Head."
Hearing The Gigolo with its phenomenal sound and brilliant playing is a thrill
that all jazz fans need to experience.
