Yahoo LAUNCHCAST song of the day

Artist:Lee Morgan

Trumpeter Lee Morgan started out as a member of Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers. Blakey returned the favour by playing on this 1960 recording. It also features Clifford Jordan on sax, Paul Chambers on bass & Wynton Kelly on piano. Morgan was one of the most popular musicans of the 60s and was destined to have a long career when he was shot and killed by his common law wife outside a New York club. Lee Morgan died on Feb. 19, 1972 at age 33.
