Vol 3

Lee Morgan Vol. 3 is the third album by jazz trumpeter Lee Morgan released on the Blue Note label. It was recorded on March 24, 1957 and features performances by Morgan, Gigi Gryce, Benny Golson, Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers and Charlie Persip. A classic hard bop date on its own, it’s the last in a series of sessions that a very young Lee Morgan (barely 18 years old at the time) recorded in 1957, a pivotal year for the American trumpeter, who would sweep the modern jazz scene from then on.
