Lee Morgan gave heady post-bop jazz a popular boost in 1963 with the catchy, effervescent funk of “The Sidewinder”. The trumpeter had a knack for opening an album with a catchy, midtempo groove that was potent enough to lay many solos over, as on “The Rumproller”, but Morgan was more than a soul-jazz stylist—he was a composer of distinction, as heard on the pensive, suite-like opening of Search for the New Land. And his blistering hard-bop soloing, on standards like “A Night In Tunisia”, reveals why he was so sought-after as a sideman by artists like Andrew Hill and Art Blakey.
