Lee Morgan was a jazz trumpeter who was one of the key figures of the hard bop style. He received his first trumpet on his 13th birthday, and within five years, he was playing in Dizzy Gillespie’s band. In 1956, Morgan was signed by the legendary Blue Note label where he recorded over two dozen albums. His The Sidewinder of 1963 was his biggest release and is considered one of jazz’s landmark albums. As a sideman, Morgan played on recordings by over 250 musicians.
