Lee Morgan – The Rumproller

Vinyl LP pressing. After trumpeter Lee Morgan set the music world on fire with the runaway success of his hit soul-jazz single The Sidewinder, many artists tried to duplicate his triumphant feat. Morgan himself cooked up funky follow-up The Rumproller, which was recorded the next year. The quintet featured Joe Henderson, Ronnie Mathews, Victor Sproles & Billy Higgins. The album covers diverse territory from the post-bop of Desert Moonlight to mournful closing ballad The Lady dedicated to Billie Holiday.
