This was a very successful Soul Jazz tune released by the legendary Blue Note record label in 1963.
Lee Morgan was a fiery trumpet player who also played on John Coltrane’s landmark “Blue Trane” album, and was a member of Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers.
It was with the Messengers that he recorded what, for me, is one of the most memorable improvised solos in the history of Jazz, in the title track “Moanin'”.
He was sadly one of several great trumpet players who died very young in the 1950’s and 1960’s. Other include Fats Navarro (died at age 26 ), Clifford Brown (died at age 25), and Booker Little (died at age 23).
