Description
Halfway through The Sidewinder, Billy Higgins’ ghosted snare tucks under Bob Cranshaw’s bass hook, and the whole band seems to lean forward at once. Lee Morgan rides that boogaloo glide with a bright, clipped attack, while Joe Henderson answers in a dry, smoky line. The hook is famous, but the band’s patience is what makes it stick. Cut at Rudy Van Gelder’s in ’63 for Blue Note, the album swings hard but keeps a dancer’s pulse. Totem Pole eases into a cooler shuffle, and Gary’s Notebook struts as Barry Harris nudges phrases into little sparks. This pressing lets the groove breathe, with low end sitting deeper and imaging clearer. If you’d rather order online, you can buy Lee Morgan records online with us. File it next to Art Blakey’s mid-60s Blue Notes, though Morgan’s bite here is more playful than volcanic. Henderson’s solo on the title cut still surprises, and Higgins’ ride keeps the shuffle light on its feet. It’s a cornerstone hard-bop date that doubles as a party starter and a gateway for newer ears. Buy Lee Morgan records online today or visit us in Preston to grab a copy.
