EIGHT CLASSIC ALBUMS American jazz trumpeter, Edward Lee Morgan - professionally known by his middle name - is still celebrated as one of the key hard-bop players of the early 1960s. Born in Philadelphia on 10th July 1938, his sister gifted him his first trumpet on his 13th birthday, having previously been interested in the vibraphone and then the alto sax. His main early influence was fellow trumpeter Clifford Brown, from whom he took a few lessons as a teenager. Bringing together eight of Lee Morgan s most prestigious and finest albums, this 4 CD collection serves as both a welcome reminder of the great man s best ever work, and as a pivotal starting point for those investigating this Jazz giant for the first time.
