Lee Morgan quintet (1972)

[@josephgutkowski2059]

Lee Morgan was a true original, with a style all his own. Brilliant in every way, one of the greatest musicians the world has ever seen, and he did it all before the age of 34.

[@danielcombs3207]

I heard him referred to as the John Coltrane of the trumpet. I found the Coltrane album called A Blowing Session which features Lee. To hear him with Coltrane and Johnny Griffin is brilliant melodic playing at its finest.

[@brucescott4261]

@danielcombs3207 ...A BLOWING SESSION was Johnny Griffin's LP (Blue Note BLP 1559). Edward Lee Morgan was four months shy of his nineteenth birthday. You must be very young.

[@brucescott4261]

@josephgutkowski2059 ...Edward Lee Morgan was thirty-three years old when he died, seven months shy of his thirty-fourth birthday.

[@1984ROCNATION]

This was LEE MORGAN'S last Video Performance...he was tragically murdered 24 days Later ....Rest beautifully my Older Soul brother

[@t.ruththeblack]

His death is one of the most shocking . . . "I Called Him Morgan" tells it all . . .

[@1984ROCNATION]

​@@t.ruththeblackyea it was! I saw it when I came out on Netflix

[@johnfolsomtroy]

So awful. Still upsets me.

[@RalphBrooker-gn9iv]

Dreadful story. Hard life. Superb player.

[@RalphBrooker-gn9iv]

@@t.ruththeblackHaven’t seen that yet. Must get it.

[@josephgutkowski2059]

What a wonderful group! The underated genius of Harold mabern, one of the greatest tenor saxophonist to come along in the last fifty years billy harper. Outstanding drummer Freddie waits. Brilliant bassist and jazz messenger stallworth, jymie Merritt.

The great Freddie "Daoud" Waits father of the great Nasheet "Sheet" Waits on the Drums!!!

SOUL was BADASS in the 70's! 🖤

[@toddhampton9212]

I discovered this show during the pandemic and have been scrambling to find as many episodes as I can.

[@pacz8114]

Why would you write that? What I've seen of the program is quite good -- to that end Lee Morgan is just shy of superb.

[@Button215]

What a great use of this medium. And here i was lamenting how terrible the internet is.

[@andrewgay778]

this is amazing. These players are incredible. Lee Morgan was a rising star who crossed over into pop charts with his unique style. Left this world way too early.

[@lwskiner]

I have never heard Lee on flugel before, a huge fan of his.

[@brucescott4261]

@lwskiner ...Lee Morgan and Freddie Hubbard started using the flugelhorn circa 1969. You probably weren't born then.

[@Akilkamau]

Favorite trumpeter!!

[@Kevin6059]

Same!

[@bluesandroots2008]

Thank you for those who were part of documenting this 20th century cornerstone of a moment on film. Thank you to my friend who introduced me to “I called him Morgan“, one of my favorite jazz documentaries. And finally, thank you for playing “Angela” 10:20 my favorite later day pieces by Lee Morgan!

[@Azel954]

They sound fantastic here. I would have loved to see the direction this group went in.

[@revenant1976]

Superb. The melodic improvisational line he takes is wonderful.

[@Ogami_Itto15]

An absolute gem of a performance 💎

[@xonious9031]

[@marvinhagler4721]

Thank you for this..He is one of the best to EVER touch a horn...WITH BILLY HARPER..ON FLUTE

[@francescoferrarese4737]

Wow ! Lee at flugelhorn... VERY COOL !....

[@RonCarterBassist]

Great stuff 👏🏾👏🏾

[@sandergeerdink7792]

Great to see this in good quality, this footage used to be really rare and with bad picture. Thx, Lee was the best.

[@danielcombs3207]

Tragic that such a great talent was cut down at a young age. This is a wonderful lineup of talented musicians.

[@sammyjacksonofhollywood1245]

rest in Peace Lee, may the God of ours ancestors bless ur soul

[@Jackiehardbopladyblue2]

PURE BEAUTY ! THIS IS THE WEAlLTH OF CLASSICAL AFRICAN - AMERICAN GREAT MUSIC / ART .WITHOUT LEE MORGAN SOMETHING WOULD HAVE BEEN MISSING ❤❤❤. MERCI FOR THAT FINE FINE UPLOAD ! CHEERS !

[@edwinedwards6796]

Don't know how I missed this broadcast at the time. Beautifully done.

[@michaeluchida5617]

Great find! I ❤ Lee Morgan

[@quincyholiday5190]

I was too young when Lee Morgan died. I have seen Billy Harper perform many times, either leading his quintet or as a sideman. But, I never saw him play the flute. I have seen Harold Mabern perform quite a few times over the years.

[@davideastlee9983]

[@bunchafunk]

Wow. Beautiful!

[@mauricemcguillicutty4746]

As beautiful, complex and sophisticated as this music is, jazz record sales at that time were abysmal as rock took over as American popular music. Lee Morgan, a true great nonetheless!

[@directcurrent5751]

A fact which would formalize a new jazz genre and come back to change literally every aspect of music in the western hemisphere.

[@bobjuke4216]

Wonderful!!

[@heitoreztec1315]

O flautista é fantástico também

[@traexforreal]

Last television performance before he died

[@michaeld5888]

Sad bit of information. I was a great fan of his collecting records but had not realised he had died until a lot later. Well before the information age and nothing much said about Jazz if at all on the usual channels. What a terrible waste of a great talent. Interesting to hear his waspish sardonic attacking bop style on a flugel horn. This also may be the first time I have heard him speak!

Pure Awesomeness!

[@directcurrent5751]

While Miles is my forever favorite, recognition that Lee Morgan was the best player of his generation.

[@ethiopianmusicoldies599]

I don’t think “best” is the right word. Both him and Hubbard are at the top of the 60’s, with Byrd not far behind, and in the later part - Woodie Shaw and Charles Tolliver are also great.

[@kaznoff2782]

Wow, what would he have accomplished if he had been allowed to live? Miles is arguably one of the best trumpet players or the best that ever lived. Lee Morgan is also no joke. Cut down in his prime. Sad.

[@robertreynolds1592]

Does anyone know the name of this first song? I am trying to find it in iTunes. Thank you :) Super awesome set though.

[@jpaulstephens6831]

Farajakah, a children's tune

[@jazztime7186]

It's "I Remember Britt" by Harold Mabern, with an introduction (the opening 55 seconds) that uses the melody of the French nursery rhyme "Frère Jacques". This arrangement was recorded live by the band in 1970 during the sessions for "Live at the Lighthouse", and was released on the Complete Lighthouse box. (It won't be listed under "Frère Jacques" in iTunes.)

[@IndianOutlaw1870]

He had 24 days left to live.

[@dbouquet]

Is anyone able to name the full band. Billy Harper on flute, maybe?

[@zimk5555]

On the video description : Lee Morgan - fluegelhorn, Billy Harper - tenor sax, Harold Mabern - piano, Jymie Merrit - bass Freddie Waits - drums

[@JonNoble]

Terrific. What a loss, so sad he'd be dead within weeks of this

[@MrFuzzyGreen]

Anyone else getting Charlie Brown/ Vince Gauraldi vibes from that first track?

Who’s the flutist???

Billy Harper

[@LC3123]

I hear Burt Bacharach thru this.

[@brucescott4261]

One, "e", in flugelhorn.

He was murdered in February of 1972... This must have been days before his death

24 days before his death
