:) wasn't this the guy shot on stage by his girlfriend? Yes that's the great LEE MORGAN...I SAW LEE MORGAN MANY TIMES WHEN HE PERFORMED AT THE LIGHT HOUSE IN L.A....69,70,71,SHORTLY AFTER THIS FILM...HE WAS KILLED..
Hes not bad at all but i know of at least three guys that are cleaner (playing wise) and have better tones-W. Marsalis, Clifford Brown, and Freddie Hubbard.
My jaw dropped when i found this song on Youtube, i bought the album bbut i always wanted to see the song live played and i'm still in shock Lee Morgan is a true genius and if you haven't read his autobio book "Delighfulee" you dont know what your missing
It's not Hubert Laws on flute but rather Billy Harper. During his two or so years touring, Lee used either Billy or Benny Maupin as his tenor player. Both also doubled on flute.
This is just one example of the incredible range of moods and colors that Lee's music offered. On this day,which would have been Lee's 72nd birthday,we reflect upon his greatness,and realize how much we miss him.
Lee Morgan is one of my very favorite players! I have so many of his records but had never seen him perform before. I was in college when I read that he had been murdered while playing at a club. I cried, as I was steeped in his music and his loss was so significant. Such an instantly recognizable sound. Thanks for posting this rare video of this amazing artist.
"I remember Britt" from "Live at the lighthouse" :)

@andersbergcrantz - My bad, my man. You're correct. Hubert Laws played with him briefly & kinda looked like him around that time.
