Lee Morgan: The Rajah (tone Poet Vinyl) (180g)
Label: BLUE NOTE Catalog: B003211201 Format: LP LEE MORGAN.The Rajah is characterized by a relaxed, refined sound with a relaxed, pulsating feeling. Many of the songs have a light Latin rhythm, which was synchronized with the Bossa Nova madness of the time. The song line-up included Calvin Massey's A Pilgrim's Funny Farm, Morgan's The Rajah, Duke Pearson's Is That So?, Walter Davis' Davisamba and two standards - What Now My Love and Once In a Lifetime. Mobley is particularly sensual here, sailing through these calm waters like a tug in the early morning, while Morgan's Horn is lyrical, bright and embracing. Walton on piano is exceptional, especially with Chambers' thick bass and Higgins' gentle hard bop rhythms. Price: $45.98 |
