Lee Morgan The Gigolo
After the runaway success of The Sidewinder in 1964, trumpeter Lee Morgan continued his musical hot streak with several recordings in 1965. "The Gigolo", which was released in 1968, featured Wayne Shorter, Harold Mabern, Bob Cranshaw, and Billy Higgins. Highlights of this swaggering set of hard bop included the groovy opener ‘Yes I Can, No You Can’t’ and up-tempo swinger ‘Speedball’.
This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is stereo, all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
