err... left out a bit!

Wayne couldn't make the date, hence Joe Henderson.

I dunno. Either way, I love this album.

But the B side has two Wayne tunes with a ballad by Morgan that sounds very Wayne-esque. So my twisted theory is that the popularity of The Sidewinder caused Lee Morgan to record this record, but Lee had so many projects that he basically wanted to crank out a couple of boogaloo tracks and left the B side for Shorter to lead.

Or maybe not, but it seems to make sense.

What I find interesting (this is one of my top 10 favorite albums) is that this track is paired on the same side as Rumproller -according to iTunes at least. Both have nearly identical grooves creating a weird ABA between all three tracks on side one of the vinyl.

Where else can you type in any jazz artist and have a catalogue come up? Thank you user and thank you youtube!
