Lee Morgan’s Lee-way captures the trumpeter at the height of his early Blue Note run, backed by an exceptional quintet featuring Jackie McLean on alto saxophone, Bobby Timmons on piano, Paul Chambers on bass and Art Blakey on drums. Recorded in 1960, the four-track set is a hard bop showcase, balancing muscular ensemble playing with standout solo performances. Alongside compositions by Cal Massey and McLean, Morgan contributes ‘The Lion And The Wolff’, a tribute to Blue Note founders Alfred Lion and Francis Wolff.
