The trumpeter Lee Morgan (1938-1972) will always be associated with his surprise pop hit "The Sidewinder". As a boy-wonder he had already made a splash in the Dizzy Gillespie Big Band at the age of 18. And Blue Note label immediately signed him. Remarkably he played his first session with Hank Mobley for Savoy one day later with Rudy van Gelder. From the sometimes rather routine recording sessions with typical quintet line-up in that crucial era of hard bop, Morgan's albums stand out from the beginning, not only due to his phenomenal technique.
