One of Lee Morgan's first-ever recordings as a leader, cut way back when he was just a hip teenager from Philly with a bucketful of promise on the trumpet!

Live At The Lighthouse (3CD set – with bonus tracks) ... CD Blue Note, 1970. Used 3CD ... $44.99
An incredible album from Lee Morgan – one of his last records ever, and a set that shows a whole new promise in his music – one that was sadly unfulfilled as a result of his tragic early death. The songs hare are all quite long – stretched out live numbers, but never in a way ... read more CD

Rumproller (SHMCD pressing – with bonus track) ... CD Blue Note (Japan), 1965. New Copy ... $18.99
A great album by Lee Morgan – and one not to pass up! The Rumproller often gets too easily lumped next to The Sidewinder – because of an obvious title and cover similarity to that hit record – but like that one, the album's far more than jazz cliche – and shows Lee Morgan ... read more CD

Nimbus, 1983. New Copy ... $9.99
A lost spiritual jazz classic from pianist Nate Morgan – maybe the musician's best-remembered moment, and for good reason too!
