BLUE VINYL

Released in 1964, Lee Morgans magnum opus, The Sidewinder, was both a comeback and a coronation. Theprodigious trumpeter debuted on Blue Note in 1956 at the age of 18, but personal problems in the early 60s forcedhim off the scene. His rebound turned out to be The Sidewinder, featuring tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson, pianistBarry Harris, bassist Bob Cranshaw, and drummer Billy Higgins. The album became his most significant commercial success, fueled by the irrepressible title track.
