Search For The New Land
LP (Item 3244) Blue Note, 1964 — Condition: Very Good+
Related searches
A brilliant album that proves that even at the height of his success, Lee Morgan was one of the freest thinkers on Blue Note – always coming up with fresh ideas that continued to grow his talents! The first cut on the album is keen poof of that fact – the title track "Search For The New Land" – a beautiful 16 minute exploration of modal jazz themes, with an unusual stop/start device as a means of ushering solos by different bandmates – including Wayne Shorter on tenor, Grant Green on guitar, and Herbie Hancock on piano! The approach is unlike anything that Morgan ever did before – and unlike most of other Blue Note as well – and it also benefits from great rhythmic help from Reggie Workman on bass and Billy Higgins on drums. Other tunes are a bit more conventional, but still pretty special – like some of Morgan's inventive work on the Rajah albums – with titles that include "The Joker", "Melancholee", "Mr. Kenyatta" and "Morgan The Pirate". © 1996-2023, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(New York stereo pressing with Van Gelder/Stereo stamps. Vinyl has a short click in one spot, but is great overall – and cover has some light wear, but is nice too.)

Very Good + (plus)
- Vinyl should be very clean, but can have less luster than near mint.
- Should still shine under a light, but one or two marks may show up when tilted.
- Can have a few small marks that may show up easily, but which do not affect play at all. Most marks of this quality will disappear when the record is tilted, and will not be felt with the back of a fingernail.
- This is the kind of record that will play "near mint", but which will have some signs of use (although not major ones).
- May have slight surface noise when played.
Additional Marks & Notes
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Excellent 70's issue of a number of tracks recorded by Horace Silver in the late 50's – including some (then) unissued material, and alternate versions of popular tracks, recorded with different bands than on the hit.

Johnny Griffin Vol 2 (aka A Blowing Session)Blue Note, 1957. Near Mint-

Horace Silver
Serenade To A Soul SisterBlue Note, 1968. Near Mint- Gatefold
The quintessential sound of late 60s Horace Silver – on one hand still very much in the Blue Note soul jazz groove that earned him plenty of jukebox single play, but on the other hand really stretching out with a style that's a bit more righteous than before! Horace shows that he can still ... LP, Vinyl record album
Horace Silver
You Gotta Take A Little LoveBlue Note, 1969. Near Mint- Gatefold
A great late 60s gem from pianist Horace Silver – and a great bridge between his earlier soul jazz for Blue Note, and some of his more righteous work to come in the 70s! At one level, the sound here steps off from classics like Serenade To A Soul Sister or The Jody Grind – but at ... LP, Vinyl record album
Earl Klugh
Earl KlughBlue Note, 1976. Very Good
The sweet debut from guitarist Earl Klugh – a player whose sound went onto dominate late 70s fusion in a big big way!

Somethin' ElseBlue Note, 1958. Near Mint-
A landmark album – even if it was the only session that Cannonball Adderley ever cut for Blue Note!

Lonnie Smith
Live At Club MozambiqueBlue Note, 1970. Sealed 2LP
A lost jazz-funk gem – originally recorded at Club Mozambique in Detroit in 1970, but not issued by Blue Note until the mid 90s! The set's right up there with Lonnie's classic Move Your Hand live set – as the tracks are long, free, and very funky, performed by a hip group that includes ... LP, Vinyl record album

I'm Tryin' To Get HomeBlue Note, 1965. Very Good+
Donald Byrd's second foray into the "with voices" genre – done in the same style as his groundbreaking New Perspective album – and with similar choral work from lyrical modernist Coleridge Perkinson! The vibe here is slightly different than the previous record – in that ... LP, Vinyl record album

Excellent meeting between 2 mighty talents who rarely recorded together! Oliver Nelson did the arrangements and leads a big band, but the real focus is on Jimmy and Wes' solos, which are given a lot of room to roam in long tracks like "James & Wes", "Night Train", and " ... LP, Vinyl record album

Slicker than usual for Houston Person, but still a pretty nice album of tighly produced R&B-oriented jazz.
