Lee Morgan - Taru - Tone Poet LP

180 Gram Vinyl LP, Blue Note Tone Poet Series, Deluxe Gatefold Tip-On Jacket

Lee Morgan's 1968 album Taru—which wouldn't be first released until 1980 as part of the LT Series—found the trumpeter at a crossroads, exploring a variety of styles. The band is notable for the elevating presence of guitarist George Benson, and the session marked Morgan's first recorded collaboration with tenor saxophonist Bennie Maupin. Rounding out the sextet were pianist John Hicks, bassist Reggie Workman, and drummer Billy Higgins.
