Lee Morgan was a true original, with a style all his own. Brilliant in every way, one of the greatest musicians the world has ever seen, and he did it all before the age of 34.
I heard him referred to as the John Coltrane of the trumpet. I found the Coltrane album called A Blowing Session which features Lee. To hear him with Coltrane and Johnny Griffin is brilliant melodic playing at its finest.
this is amazing. These players are incredible. Lee Morgan was a rising star who crossed over into pop charts with his unique style. Left this world way too early.
0:16 - "I Remember Brit" (with "Frère Jacques" intro) (Harold Mabern) 9:47 - Lee Morgan introduces songs 10:20 - "Angela" (Jymie Merrit) New York City, PBS studios, for the "Soul!" program (S1 E9 Jan. 26 1972) More of this episode of "Soul!" is here: ruclips.net/video/6PvACuq_GSs/видео.html
PURE BEAUTY ! THIS IS THE WEAlLTH OF CLASSICAL AFRICAN - AMERICAN GREAT MUSIC / ART .WITHOUT LEE MORGAN SOMETHING WOULD HAVE BEEN MISSING ❤❤❤. MERCI FOR THAT FINE FINE UPLOAD ! CHEERS !
What a wonderful group! The underated genius of Harold mabern, one of the greatest tenor saxophonist to come along in the last fifty years billy harper. Outstanding drummer Freddie waits. Brilliant bassist and jazz messenger stallworth, jymie Merritt.
Sad bit of information. I was a great fan of his collecting records but had not realised he had died until a lot later. Well before the information age and nothing much said about Jazz if at all on the usual channels. What a terrible waste of a great talent. Interesting to hear his waspish sardonic attacking bop style on a flugel horn. This also may be the first time I have heard him speak!
As beautiful, complex and sophisticated as this music is, jazz record sales at that time were abysmal as rock took over as American popular music. Lee Morgan, a true great nonetheless!
It's "I Remember Britt" by Harold Mabern, with an introduction (the opening 55 seconds) that uses the melody of the French nursery rhyme "Frère Jacques". This arrangement was recorded live by the band in 1970 during the sessions for "Live at the Lighthouse", and was released on the Complete Lighthouse box. (It won't be listed under "Frère Jacques" in iTunes.)
THANKS, GREAT SOUND, GREAT FLUGELHORNIST LEE MORGAN. RIO DE JANEIRO BRASIL, THANKS.
This was LEE MORGAN'S last Video Performance...he was tragically murdered 24 days Later ....Rest beautifully my Older Soul brother
His death is one of the most shocking . . . "I Called Him Morgan" tells it all . . .

So awful. Still upsets me.
Dreadful story. Hard life. Superb player.

Had so much more to offer.
Tragic that such a great talent was cut down at a young age. This is a wonderful lineup of talented musicians.
They sound fantastic here. I would have loved to see the direction this group went in.
The great Freddie "Daoud" Waits father of the great Nasheet "Sheet" Waits on the Drums!!!

@@greatbliss thanks man I appreciate
He was murdered in February of 1972... This must have been days before his death
24 days before his death
Anyone else getting Charlie Brown/ Vince Gauraldi vibes from that first track?
Is anyone able to name the full band. Billy Harper on flute, maybe?
On the video description :
Lee Morgan - fluegelhorn,
Billy Harper - tenor sax,
Harold Mabern - piano,
Jymie Merrit - bass
Freddie Waits - drums
Would like to know where this is.
New York City, PBS studios, for the "Soul!" program (S1 E9 Jan. 26 1972)
What is the title of the first song ?
I Remember Britt compsed by Harold Mabern
IS THAT a flugelh or a flumpet ? 1 also 4 him, not just 4 Art ....(?).
Flugelhorn I believe.
