Such great playing by Lee and Bennie Maupin, such a great groove by the rhythm section, and the crowd is so into it! My favorite version of this tune. It's a bootleg that was released many times under the "Live at the Lighthouse" name but was actually a radio broadcast from the Both/And Club in San Francisco in 1970.
I'm not going to lie... I just discovered Lee Morgan through watching the documentary on him... man He was very gifted at a very early age. He played with the likes of Dizzy Gillespie, John Coltrane, Wayne Shorter, and the Jazz Messengers (just to name a few). He was a amazing trumpet player... it was ashame and tragic how his life ended. May the lengdary Lee Morgan Rest In Paradise... much respect and that's what's up!!!
same way i discovered him also.. and went on to listen to other renditions.. and found Charles Earland.. love the way he makes that old jazz organ talk .. I like this live version.. Excellence
@@patriciaparker6647 To honor this falling angel, I got his likness tattoo on my left calf. He was one of the most underrated trumpeters of his generation. I miss him dearly! Lord knows what more amazing music he would have gifted us... Rest in Paradise 💝
I've not heard this song without Herbie Hancock on the piano. This pianist is all right but Herbie Hancock's accompaniment added a dimension of mysterious sadness mixed with joy and ecstasy. If I'd heard this guy first and then heard Herbie Hancock playing along with Lee Morgan, I'd be happy but this way is reading the book and then seeing the movie.
@Maze22 Not my point- don’t care how great he is - he’s not Herbie Hancock. For ME, Herbie Hancock brings a magic to Ceora that I’m just not hearing in this version, and, that, of course, is my prerogative.
From 4:53 to 5:02, you can hear Lee playing the cowbell rhythm (on some sort of aux percussion) he played on A Night in Tunisia when he was with Art and the Messengers.
That's the photo of Lee when he was with Dizzy's band the whole trumpet section was outfitted with them Lee used it to record with during that time without Dizzy's band and he used it on blue train with Coltrane
I saw Lee Morgan with my Mom, 🎉she just loved Lee ( Ceora & Gigolo )..OH boy what a night Live at Lighthouse 72' Hermosa Beach..Lee my God Lyrical Bliss RIP MAESTRO MORGAN🪇🎶🙏Play for God now Babae !!! 🏹✌️
I still feel the loss of such a brilliant musician, one of the greatest trumpet players of all time, if not the greatest!

Jerlene H. Lee been resting in Paradise way before I was born and it’s amazing how modern he still sounds...Amen Lee continue to rest!!
Wow! Glad you discovered him. He must've really impressed you because you've been on an LM research mission.

Don't forget Jackie McLean, Bennie Maupin.
My favorite Lee Morgan song! Live!!!

Lee was a truly gifted composer. This is one of his many classic compositions.
This composition deserves a way better place in the Standards Olympus
Amazing Morgan

agreed, but Lee' s playing is so good in the longer format that it makes up for Herbie-less-ness
@@ianbehrstock For sure!

Didn't know Morgan had a "Dizzy" trumpet!

@@bennyhill138 Yes, I remember that Quincy Jones played a "Dizzy" trumpet back then also! Joe Gordon too?
I dont think he played above top staff G this whole solo, but still delivered very very high energy.
A Dizzy Bell trumpet 🎺...👍🏾
