| Thanks, Wilmer. Dang, Lee was something, especially in those early days. (I sometimes think his tone was never the same after about 1963). But he was a lightning bolt. All in need to know about Youtube are these wonderful links you keep posting.<<<<<<<<<Michael Mclaughlin
I never detected a change in Lee's tone post 1963 through June 1966 when Uncle Sam called me away.
I must admit to personal prejudice here, in my close to 45 years of witnessing and listening to trumpeters,Lee Morgan and Freddie Hubbard are titans.
I'll always remember those cats for their daring attacks,their thrilling improvisations and compositions that imaginatively embrace rhythm and romance.
When was the last time you listened to Here's Lee Morgan and his take on "I'm a Fool to Want You ?"
That song always make me cry in my vino.
Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars.
