Morgan, Lee
Candy
Recorded in 1957 when Lee Morgan was only 19, and released on Blue Note in 1958, 'Candy' sees the young trumpet genius as leader of a marvelous quartet featuring the infectious rhythm section of Sonny Clark on piano, Doug Watkins on bass and Art Taylor on drums. Being Morgan the only horn he has plenty of space for showing his innate sense of swing and melody. The whole quartet shines throughout a repertoire based entirely on standards including both up tempo numbers and ballads. Limited clear vinyl.
