Lee Morgan was incredible. When he solos it's like he's talking to me.
Man! Lee Morgan can "COOK!!!" ❤️🎶👏🎺
for sure
I love Lee Morgan. Been a fan since the 60's.
me too
A beautiful remembrance from a beautiful guy.Bob comes across every bit as warm as his playing.
RIP Bob Cranshaw...What a great sidewinder beat... Bun bun bun bun...
Agreed...
My goodness, the playing on that solo is incredible.
Bought of lot jazz classic albums here lately, dipping my toes in jazz. And Lee Morgan’s Cornbread is one that really stood out. Didn’t know anything about him before now. 👍
MAN , LEE MORGAN WAS A MONSTER , THOSE CAT,S BACK THEN HAD A BETTER SENSE OF THE BLUES .AND NO MATTER HOW FAST THEY WERE PLAYING ,THE BLUES WAS THICK IN THEIR PLAYING ,AND HAD A LOT OF FEELING . TODAYS PLAYERS GOVERN THE PLAYING WITH THEIR MIND AND LACKS SOUL - RIP BOB CRANSHAW LOVED YOUR PLAYING AND SENSE OF TIME A FEEL ON THE BASS .
A pure Masterpiece!
Just about everyone knew about Lee from The Sidewinder. Then there was Totem Pole on the same album who dueled with Joe Henderson. I think he was a composer at heart. He was always creating and thinking ahead and were he had been in a solo. A
marvelous musician. If he had lived, he would have been a great teacher.
+Cornelius Carr Totem pole is so good! that double time swing!
Totem Pole is perhaps my most favorite song. It's the song I show people who may not know much jazz.
Wow I was playing Totem Pole 4 or 5 days ago...solid track.
Well known, but still vastly underrated. As great as any of them, including Miles and Hubbard.
I prefer Lee over Woody Shaw. He is consistently creating beautiful melodies through out everything he does.
For what it’s worth, Lee was Woody’s personal favorite trumpeter.
I do feel Woody took the trumpet to a whole new level. He absorbed from Lee, Freddie, Donald Byrd, Booker Little, Diz, Brownie, Miles, Armstrong, and even John Coltrane and churned out something surreal and beautiful.
Both Lee and Woody make me feel grateful and alive with every listen.
Lee was better. There I said it.
@@sevenminaya1390 Lee was better at the bluesy aspects of playing, but Woody did things on the trumpet on the regular that Lee never could.
@@williemakeit2346 Can't say anything bad about Woody. I wish Lee lived longer. But it's also who we identify with, Lee's phrasing and overall swag is very touching for me. Much love to you and long live our music.
Lee was for sure a virtuoso on the trumpet,but also, his compositions were genius level.
Absolutely
One of the great talents that left us too soon
Lee Morgan was along with woody Shaw the most perfect in every way when it comes to a great musician. As incredibly gifted a trumpet player as ever existed.
Man these guys were geniuses. Lee Morgan
Morgan is one of those can’t miss guys. Never took a bad solo. An excellent starting point for people who don’t know much about jazz.
Yes!
Bret, thanks so very much for giving us this wonderul reminisence of Lee by the great Bob Cranshaw.
Rip : Bob Cranshaw (December 10 1932 - November 2 2016)
Johnnralph God Bless R.I.P🛐 For A Bass Player That Was " Down"!!!!!!!☮
I met Bob Crenshaw 6 months before he died. He was in the audience at a Russell Malone show in Montreal. Russell Malone almost had a heart attack saying: ‘´Is it possible? Ben Crenshaw is in the audience? What are you doing in Montreal Ben?’’. And Ben Crenshaw answered laughing: ‘´My wife is from Montreal. I come he often.’’ Ben stayed after the show to sign autographs. I have a Russell Malone CD signed by Ben Crenshaw, how rare that is? He was quite a gentleman and when I asked him if he played with Dexter Gordon, he answered: ‘’I played with everybody.’’
Lee Morgan was ahead of hes time one best or the best trumpet player
Lee Morgan , one of the Greatest Trumpet Players of all times...♡♡♡
My thoughts exactly.
Morgan was bemused by the success of 'The Sidewinder'. He felt his playing was more advanced on Grachan Moncurr III "Evolution" a few months earlier. Evolution is a better album for me, which Cranshaw also appeared on, and hearing Morgan in a more out setting is fascinating. More advanced playing doesn't mean more public recognition and the Sidewinder's catchy groove has an appeal beyond the Jazz world. It was one of my first Blue Note albums and it introduced me to the genius of Joe Henderson.
Sidewinder was just a warm up "boogaloo' (blues). Until it wasn't. Blue Note would try to coax Lee to come up with another catchy boogaloo at every subsequent Morgan session for years to come.
Lee was and still my favorite players and will always be oh roland kirk too
It's why people listen and play music, it sets one FREE..!
Thank you for this. For some of the greatest Lee Morgan playing ever, I recommend Coltrane's album Blue Train.
Bill Metcalfe Just about any Lee Morgan recording works for me.
IMO Blue Trane is the most concise, and note for note perfect solo of all time. If I had to pick one.
I agree and Clifford brown on Joy spring is pretty perfect too.
So great to hear the story behind Sidewinder. Lee is much of my inspiration to taking a half of a lifetime of screwing around on my horn.
He and Jackie Mclean were great together, and great friends.
Cranshaw's love and respect shine through in this. He is so kind to speak truths about Lee and himself and the trade. It is an art, but its business too. As a lower middle class white kid who played trumpet, my anchors were Armstrong, Miles and Dizzy. When I heard Lee Morgan for the fist time, I was changed a bit. Just something in his style speaks to me deeply. What a gift he had.
Lee Morgan has always spoken to me, and always will.
@@JazzVideoGuy :)
Again he is a great Storyteller maybe the greatest on Trumpet that ever was.
Just brilliant
Oh my word. Soulful 👌🏿
Thank you so much for this.
Greetings from Uganda 🇺🇬👊🏿❤️
Hello Uganda!
A talented musician.
His early and tragic death robbed the music world.
A tragedy in every sense of the word.
Amazing playing... and very cool remembrances. Also incredible how 4 notes at the intro (of any tune) can be so memorable.
Bob Crenshaw is WONDERFUL. A consummate musician.
And a consumate person.
This is excellent.
Lee will forever be remembered. My favorite two albums are: Search For The New Land and The Last Session.
Loved this tune since i first heard it back in "86... so much an important part in the transistion of jazz as we know it, and to think it was also a crossover sucess too!
Two of the finest jazz musicians to ever grace a recording studio, or a smoke filled, ice/glass clinking, crowd buzzing, New York club scene!
Lee, inarguably the Prince of Blue Note, and Bob, every jazz man's idea of what a solid, fundamentally sound, and musically strong bass player is all about. Together, and individually, they laid the foundation for what would become the greatest recording collaborative in modern music; Rudy Van Gelder Recording Studios and Blue Note Records!
The magic created in this all too brief, but indelible period of jazz will never be eclipsed. Thanks to the many talented and gifted musicians who displayed their instrumental artistry so eloquently on thousands of tracks, the music they loved and we continue to enjoy, will be just as dynamic in future generations. Rest in Peace Lee Morgan, Bob Cranshaw and countless others who might have spent a few hours, days, weeks, months, years, or decades contributing to the catalogue of sheer genius, and what we now realize was creative Greatness!👑
Busta, you are forgeting Joe Henderson on tenor, truly one of the greats.
@@thomasarneson4511
Indeed! Joe contributed mightily to the Sound of The Golden Age of Blue Note, as well as the distinctive voice of jazz during the late 50s and 60s. 🎷
Lee Morgan was extraordinary, even among virtuoso jazz trumpeters or first-class jazz musicians generally.
truly
A beautiful thing! Great upload. Thanks, JVG.
I have ridden by Rudy's blasting Sidewinder so many times over the years.
Lee Morgan = Mastermind & Genius
Once again you have increased my knowledge and appreciation of jazz through this video about such a talented trumpeter. Thanks so much for posting this, and I look forward to whatever else you post in the future.
I like how this video is cut to the same time length as "the sidewinder"
you noticed!
This is some of the most spectacular playing I have ever heard. Thank you so much!!!! I am nearly speechless!!!!!!!!
Excellent story about "The Sidewinder". Hahahahaha! He ran back into the bathroom, and in twenty minutes, composed one of the greatest jazz/funk songs ever! And Bob Cranshaw's bass line is immortalized forever!
Amazing recording.
His solo on so many songs wow!! Been listening lately to like someone in love from art Blakey. Solo is a gem listen to it if you can
lee just shredded..big time..thank you for recording this
Wow, amazing footage of Lee Morgan! Thanks for posting!
Great, thenx on this one!
@CoreaKixx420 I have been listening to this music since I was fourteen and it never fails to amaze me!
I love these two musicians.... The Sidewinder is an absolute classic!
THANK YOU!!!! A Great Post!!!
Go head Lee!!! I'm going to see his Biopic tonight.
Great post...sidewinder is often reference as the lee morgan's landmark album. Somehow his later works are often under appreciated, Lee way, Candy, Cornbread to name a few are equally astonishing. Lee Morgan's brilliance seem all so diminished with his short life span. He left us with a legacy only as an indication of what he could really have been.
Lament for Stacy.
What made Sidewinder so appealing to everyone is that it is understandable because of its simplicity and funkiness. The pace is slow enough for everyone to grasp its beauty.
The Gigolo
incredibile passion and playing from the heart!
Goodness gracious, I grew up on Lee Morgan's "Sidewinder" .
Really appreciate hearing Bob Cranshaw share memories of recording a Blue Note album that spent many a Saturday on the turntable. Always loved Bob's work on upright and electric, especially Horace Silver's "Happy Medium" .
We really miss Bob. In addition to being a superb bassist, he was a very warm, giving person.
My ears prefer Lee above all others!
@JazzVideoGuy Hi, pal!!!! I began at 19, in the late '70's...but it wasn't until about a dozen years ago listening to the great Ed Love, broadcasting jazz out of Wayne State Univ. in Detroit, that I first heard Lee Morgan. Ed played alot of this guy. WOW!!!! Thanx again my friend!!!!
Lee Morgan, my man. Legend!!
Doesn't get much better than the jazz messengers with Mobley and Morgan
You got that right
What a great storyteller Bob Cranshaw is
And an even better man.
Man, how insightful!
whoa! great video.
Awesome!!!
Bob was an amazing person and musician.
Santo cielo! Lee Morgan es colosal!
Lee is my favorite, Theme for Stacy. Great videos, keep it up.
thanks Brett
Great sh💜t thanks
You're welcome 😊
Amazing
i am speechless
Oh yeah and Hallelujah,too!
I have lots of Lee Morgan albums on LP and/or CD as well as a bunch of Art Blakey albums that feature Lee Morgan. While they are all great, the one I listen to most often is "The Big Beat" by Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers. Those of you that have never heard that record need to check it out; it's really quite incredible and Mr. Morgan's playing is thrilling!
Love that album -- absolutely one of my top 3 favorite Art Blakey albums.
Esa pausa del bajo que explica en el video me parece sencillamente hermoso.
My Main Man❤️🖤💚
Greatness!
totally
The power!
Holy s*#t!!!!!! He was a motherf*&ker!!
espetacular
@MrDavearama Amen!
Clifford and Lee are fighting with Art in Heaven over who gets the second solo...
soapbxprod freddie Hubbard an blue Mitchell also !!!! Sweet
soapbxprod I got that
Also Woody Shaw, Bill Hardman, and Harry Sweets Edison etc.
He is.
@TheHammerbox Thanks!
@ZQUIDGE It's called Moanin' and the group that played with him was called Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers.
It seems so odd after playing the original LP so many times and probably imprinted somewhere in my brain hearing the solo performed differently in this live performance. They tried to repeat things with Rumproller but it did not really work so well.
Love “ Exotique”
j'aime !
@aammirr This is only the first video, my friend. Please be patient.
Que maravilla
Si!
Bob Cranshaw sounds like a humble guy,but I'd like to point out that his playing is all over so many Monster albums on Blue Note and Prestige. Mingus and Chambers might get the hype but Cranshaw was the consummate sideman.
You are so correct. Bob was very humble, warm, caring man. And my goodness, what a legacy.
Uh uh Uh....are they swinging or what? Yes indeed!
Nice flashback!
That recording still stands out.
Does Anyone--I Mean Anyone Know Of Any Live Interviews Of Lee Morgan! I Heard An Interview With Him In 1969 Or 70 On An FM Station Here In Los Angeles. HELP!!!!!! Anyone!
where/when's the film footage from?
I knew this song was born in the bathroom, but I never knew that silence was because of a splice. I always just figure it was part of Lee's orchestration. Frankly, I'm glad Bob forgot the pick-up, because I really dig the 'false stop,' and I have since the first time I'd heard it.
what year was this? I enjoyed They called him Morgan documentary
I did the Bob Cranshaw interview in 2009.
I was wondering what year that the Lee Morgan recording on this video was made?
those who disliked this video, have evil spirit...
Only the Good Die Young..
Can someone please tell me what the song is at 0:21?
This is Moanin'.
What is the opening track? 00:00
It's either his solo on "The Sidewinder" or "Speedball" from Live at the Lighthouse.
Thank you very much!!
Check the Netflix documentary. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
yes, recommended: amzn.to/2Kbq1sL
What the Hell. The album cover has Bob's last name misspelled.
As Paris Hilton would say, That's Hot!
