Lee Morgan - The Cooker - Tone Poet LP

All-Analog 180-Gram Vinyl, Blue Note Tone Poet Edition, Gatefold Jacket

Listening to Lee Morgan blow his molten solo on "A Night in Tunisia," the opening track of The Cooker, it's hard to fathom that he was only 19 years old at the time. Recorded just two weeks after Morgan's dazzling performance on John Coltrane's Blue Train in September 1957, The Cooker was in fact his fifth Blue Note album as a leader. Bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Philly Joe Jones are joined by baritone saxophone master Pepper Adams and the great Bobby Timmons on piano for this superbly swinging session.
