Bob Cranshaw Remembers Lee Morgan and "The Sidewinder"

[aeffron]

this was freaking awesome, if you ever do a part II, i have 40 more questions about the sidewinder session for bob

[CoreaKixx420]

This is some of the most spectacular playing I have ever heard. Thank you so much!!!! I am nearly speechless!!!!!!!!

[JazzVideoGuy]

@CoreaKixx420 I have been listening to this music since I was fourteen and it never fails to amaze me!

[CoreaKixx420]

@JazzVideoGuy Hi, pal!!!! I began at 19, in the late '70's...but it wasn't until about a dozen years ago listening to the great Ed Love, broadcasting jazz out of Wayne State Univ. in Detroit, that I first heard Lee Morgan. Ed played alot of this guy. WOW!!!! Thanx again my friend!!!!

I knew this song was born in the bathroom, but I never knew that silence was because of a splice. I always just figure it was part of Lee's orchestration. Frankly, I'm glad Bob forgot the pick-up, because I really dig the 'false stop,' and I have since the first time I'd heard it.

[ZQUIDGE]

Can someone please tell me what the song is at 0:21?

Lee Morgan = Mastermind & Genius

[MrDavearama]

After years being a Coltrane & Miles fan, I am starting to realize that Lee Morgan belongs right up there on that same mountain. The guy was a Hipster saint.

[JazzVideoGuy]

@MrDavearama Amen!

Great post...sidewinder is often reference as the lee morgan's landmark album. Somehow his later works are often under appreciated, Lee way, Candy, Cornbread to name a few are equally astonishing. Lee Morgan's brilliance seem all so diminished with his short life span. He left us with a legacy only as an indication of what he could really have been.

[invisiblekid14]

@anotherraybanfan "LeeWay" and "Candy" both predate "The Sidewinder". they were made earlier.

[jazz1bro]

incredibile passion and playing from the heart!

[JoseMcPhereson]

Great interview! A real treat to hear first hand from Mr. Cranshaw. I've also always wanted to hear Wayne Shorter's reflections on Lee Morgan, what a great perspective he must have. Thanks for the great videos.

[loondoo]

Wow, amazing footage of Lee Morgan! Thanks for posting!

[gsco82]

This is excellent. Lee will forever be remembered. My favorite two albums are: Search For The New Land and The Last Session.

I love these two musicians.... The Sidewinder is an absolute classic!
