Lee Morgan - Cornbread



Here's one of my all time favorite jazz albums mainly because it has some really great tight rhythms and an exceptional crew. Herbie Hancock is on the piano, Jackie McLean is on alto saxophone, Hank Mobley on tenor saxophone and of course Lee Morgan on trumpet. All of these guys at the time of this album gained critical acclaim and they proved very well on this record that it's not just because they're pretty. Released by Blue Note in 1965.

I think this a great album to spark someones interest in jazz. It's very melodic and swift. Not a lot of long minute jerk-offs and screeching trumpets. Very pleasant to listen and relax.

Download.

Personal favorite track on the album.
