The more I listen to Lee, wish I would have know about him earlier. My mom loved jazz, now I know why!!🥰😉
Lee Morganテーマの吹き方からソロまでかっこよすぎる
WOW! What a band!
My gawd! What an incredible performance. I mean they are all great, but John Hicks is just BLAZING.
Essa é a melhor versão desse clássico!
Belíssimo Ruka!!
Fantástico domingo e semana!
Grande beijo,
Maga Morgan Lee ~_ * lol
Is that Lee announcing the tune? That alone makes this a treasure. Lee was the main "bridge" between Clifford Brown and Freddie Hubbard. Freddie was probably the more acclaimed trumpeter at this time--which is shortly before Lee's tragic end--shot in the back while returning to the bandstand at "Slug's Saloon." Lesson: don't upset your woman. Most musicians are under seige because of the conflict between wives and music. But Clifford's best years were ahead of him, despite the dominance of electric funk and fusion. He created one of the greatest albums of all time on an obscure label in 1975: "Glass Bead Games"--as close to perfection as it gets, with Clifford skillfully using two different rhythm sections (Stanley Cowell/Cedar Walton, Bill Lee/Sam Jones, Billy Higgins) to capture the elusive theme of Herman Hesse's great novel. I've heard worse audio from Baltimore live sessions than this one. Bass is weak, piano out of tune, horns slightly distorted but not overly so. I didn't realize John Hicks was active this early. He first came to the attention of many of us through his association with Betty Carter in the mid too late-70s. Hearing about the deaths of both Hicks and James Patterson came as a shock, two brilliant players, both short of 60. The same for the young piano player who came up with W. Marsalis. Note: I note that Hicks is careful not to play any left hand chords in "root position," or the "shell voicings" (root plus 7th) favored by most pre-Bill Evans pianists. As a result of Bill and Lafaro, many bassists became prima donnas, demanding ever more solo time and excoriating the pianist every time he plays a chord with a root ("Get out of there! I've got that covered!"). Whatever happened to the great, supportive, rhythmic bass players, content to just lay down a solid walking 4/4? Just as they became ever more scarce, the word "swing" itself has practically disappeared from discussions of the music--either as a verb or a noun. "Swing" used to be both a good type of music to play as well as a good way of playing. Now, it doesn't much matter. All we hear are schooled musicians playing scales on chord changes--which is definitely NOT the case here.
+caponsacchi I thought Lee and his wife were sitting together at the bar when she did it. I used to think he was actually on stage playing the trumpet when she shot him, but no. I visited the site on the Lower East Side of NYC recently. Not much to see now and a grey, drizzly afternoon, but it was one of the things I had to do.
+caponsacchi I think it is Lee announcing it. He sounds similar to this introducing things ('toons') on the Live at the Lighthouse album, although here he pitches his speaking voice a bit deeper.
jasonpfinch yea I thought he was on the banstand when he was shot also, gotta look into it !!!! either way it was ashame !!!
They were standing on the floor when she shot him. He wasn’t performing at the moment.
Doesn’t matter where they were
Lee is the baddest, bar none. so is Clifford Jordan
Well, they can't both be the baddest. I vote Lee.
Disciple Morgan. All Praises Due. R i p

chaser - something non alcoholic to drink as well as the hard liquor being consumed simultaneously. ^_^

~1978 McCoy Tyner played Humboldt State University and the music department allowed him the worst grand piano on the campus. A rock band also played that night and they got a much better piano.
John Hicks is doing something very weird with his left hand
⭕️✨🍒😃
It is a pity but thisrecording is half a tune high to th original.
Are they in the key of F#? Is this a recording problem, or was it intentional?
Why is the piano out of tune? This would be a top notch performance if the recording was better. Although not bad for a live performance. If I ever play "The Royal Arms" I will check the piano's tuning.
Why do you say that? More likely F. I think F because of the sound of the high notes in the tenor solo.
SlavicMaleChorus lol they're playing in F. Not g. Lol. Old recording.
They’re in F but the recording is exactly a quarter tone sharp
F 7 dominant, C7 alt, F7, B7 dominant, B flat 7 dominant. F7 alt, B flat 7, the first few chords.
I am a big jazz fan. And love these players individually but these recordings are ass
piano is out of tune
Dont be that guy
+inertia27 Yes, funny thing: this happened on many live recordings in American clubs. Even Oscar Peterson suffered his way through, now and then.
that is the beauty
It helps separate this rockin' group performance from the pack!
perfectly separated it’s risky unstably and lovely..
