This reissue features Morgan at his best, whether playing his memorable blues \"Speed Ball,\" an explorative ballad version of \"You Go to My Head,\" a lengthy \"The Gigolo,\" or his other two originals (\"Yes I Can, No You Can't\" and \"Trapped\"). There are no weak selections on this set and the playing by the leader, Wayne Shorter on tenor, pianist Harold Mabern, bassist Bob Cranshaw, and drummer Billy Higgins\u003cspan\u003e is beyond any serious criticism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFollowing the runaway success of \u003cem\u003eThe Sidewinder \u003c\/em\u003ein 1964, Alfred Lion continued to record trumpeter Lee Morgan frequently in the hopes of capturing another funky boogaloo hit. While his subsequent albums may not have scaled the same commercial heights, Morgan certainly delivered the musical goods on his 1965 albums\u003cem\u003e The Rumproller\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Gigolo\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eCornbread\u003c\/em\u003e, all of which stand among the finest outings in his formidable discography. Recorded over two dates that Summer, \u003cem\u003eThe Gigolo\u003c\/em\u003e featured Morgan with a dynamic quintet comprised of Wayne Shorter on tenor saxophone, Harold Mabern on piano, Bob Cranshaw on bass, and Billy Higgins on drums. A supremely confident set of swaggering hard bop, the album kicks off with the groovy opener “Yes I Can, No You Can’t,” one of four Morgan originals featured here along with the up-tempo gems “Trapped” and “Speedball,” and stirring explorations of the 11-minute “The Gigolo.” The album closes with an exceptional arrangement of the ballad “You Go To My Head” which sways with sensual movement. — (via Blue Note)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/1FFDkPEmrXZs32SUpU63Sk?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Blue Note, UMe\u003cbr\u003eSeries: Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue, Stereo, 180g\u003cbr\u003eCountry: Worldwide\u003cbr\u003eReissued: 2024 \/ Original: 1968\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Hard Bop\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: Blue Note Records\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blue Note","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44263869415582,"sku":"602458807851","price":48.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/lee.jpg?v=1725345162","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/products\/lee-morgan-the-gigolo-2024-blue-note-classic-vinyl-series","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
