This session is best known for introducing Lee Morgan's beautiful ballad "Ceora," but actually all five selections (which include Morgan's "Cornbread," "Our Man Higgins," "Most Like Lee," and the standard "Ill Wind") are quite memorable. The trumpeter/leader performs with a perfectly complementary group of open-minded and talented hard bop stylists (altoist Jackie McLean, Hank Mobley on tenor, pianist Herbie Hancock, bassist Larry Ridley, and drummer Billy Higgins) and creates a Blue Note classic that is highly recommended.
Players Include
Lee Morgan - Trumpet
Herbie Hancock - Piano
Billy Higgins - Drums
Hank Mobley - Sax (Tenor)
Larry Ridley - Bass
Jackie McLean - Sax (Alto)

It is listed as "Don Redman & His Orchestra with Red & Struggie 1934" it runs about ten minutes ...ILL WIND is about the second or third selection. Also be sure to catch the amazing work by Red and Struggie on Nagasaki..it is a delight and an insight to many of the musical forms of today!

I know that hardcore music fans know this but, for the less informed, the title is Ill Wind not I'll Wind. :)

"Cornbread" is one of my all-time favorite albums. I always listen to it from start to finish, because every track is a masterpiece!

Larry Ridley, "The high level of our empathy and musicianship is individually and collectively very obvious throughout this album. My thanks to Rudy VanGelder for his talent and ability in capturing this."
