  • Lee Morgan had more fire than any trumpet player since. He might be messy, he might miss notes, but his solos are so exciting and so perfectly constructed.

  • Lee Morgan rocks!

  • Great!!! Thank you for posting.

  • @MILESMOE THIS IS JASS NOT JAZZ.....

  • @tkdmaster3bd

    Right!....I'm glad we agree! :-)

  • @milesmoe i disagree: these recordings are the only relative comparison that we can make to our own playing. In other words, the tradition defines the relative nature of "miss" or "hit", so by definition, Lee Morgan cannot be held accountable for a "missed" note in the greater corpus of jazz music because he IS the Jazz music. If you were to hold, baroque as the standard, sure, he misses lots of notes. But this is jazz. Jazz is lee morgan. It's ALL on point because Lee Morgan emobies Jazz!

  • @vova47 then they're not missed notes! lol

  • @tkdmaster3 Personally, I don't hear any "missed notes", but then it is not what I am listening for. I couldn't care less if he did. I am not quite sure what is your question. Any musician can miss some notes that he's aiming for, due to tiredness, loss of concentration or any other factors. The question is if he or she can turn the mistake into music. And Lee Morgan undoubtedly could!

  • @vova47 but still i don't understand how he's missing notes? "missed notes" are simply a matter of disagreement...

  • @tkdmaster3bd I'd rather listen to Lee Morgan missing notes than most trumpet players today hitting them perfectly. Just an opinion.

  • @milesmoe

    i don't understand how he misses notes?

  • Art Blakey lol
