Lee Morgan-Ceora

CORNBREAD offers a typical mid-'60s Morgan set of four originals and a standard. "Most Like Lee" is a straight-ahead minor blues swinger, while the title cut is a swaggering 20-bar blues workout for the three horns that owes as much to Horace ... Full DescriptionSilver's down-home gospel-inflected composing as it does to tunes like Morgan's own hit "The Sidewinder." Altoist Jackie McLean lays out for "Ceora," a bossa nova with a bop-inflected melody and a beautifully stealthy set of changes. "Our Man Higgins" is, not surprisingly, a drum feature for Billy Higgins that splits the difference between modal blowing and the blues when it comes to the solos.

Personnel: Lee Morgan (trumpet); Jackie McLean (alto saxophone); Hank Mobley (tenor saxophone); Herbie Hancock (piano); Larry Ridley (bass); Billy Higgins (drums).

Herbie, Herbie,Herbie. Has just an amazing touch.Clearly Red Garland influenced but definitley his own style.

Lee showed his genius again when he penned this classis. Thanks for leaving us with this gem.

Nostalgic piece....

[Mrthelonius11]

in the intro herbie plays so far behind the beat. I don't think any julliard music major could transcribe it. at least not w/ 256th notes.

@3arik I wholesomely agree!

[88keysallday]

anybody think this song could be slightly responsible for any smooth jazz out there today?

@BillyBobJoe06, cool.

I guess blue0eyed0pianist and I are just typical annoying youtubers whom make a habit of telling people stuff they already know.

Sorry bout that.

@BillyBobJoe06 and @plimbuff as well.... while improvising is of course the main goal of jazz, transcribing existing solos from great artists is an important skill for jazz students. I'm currently studying jazz piano at university, and we have to perform a transcribed solo at every jury. Good for you, BillyBob!! If you're already transcribing good stuff, more power to ya. You can learn so much from playing what the masters played!

@plimbuff yeah dont the solo isnt supposed to be improve its supposed to be a excerpt of a song. I have to improve as a seperate part of the audition.

@andifyouhadtwocoats, hello Troll.

Rap is Bisexual, Country music is into incest, Punk Rock is a huge child molester, and Classical music prefers beastiality.

So, what's wrong with jazz prefering hot sweaty gay butt sex, just like you do?

[plimbuff]

@BillyBobJoe06, cool. Although,

The point of jazz to IMPROVISE, rather than just coping an entire solo note for note. You'd better hope who ever is auditioning you doesn't recognize it.

[snazzysavvy]

on REPEAT. <3
