Lee Morgan "You Go To My Head"

I agree with the hair! He's got it dyed, fried, and laid to the side!

CJ my hat goes off to you. As a trumpet player for over 40 years I haven't heard anyone with the touch of Lee. Sometimes I've been referred to as Lil Roy (Eldridge) but I've always loved the sound Lee was able to achieve I hope when I am gone those that hear my songs compare me to the sound he was so famous for. The guy was definitely a genius. I'll still trying to catch up to him. Lost my collection years ago in a flood. Thanks for refreshing my memory.

I'd really like to know if there are any trumpeters on the scene today that seem closest to Lee Morgan's playing. Anybody have any ideas they'd like to share?

Well I may not be a Lee Morgan clone, but I've been playing over 40 years in countless clubs throughout the US. I now live in Sparks, NV. and play on Thursday nights on the Jazz night at "Sidelines Bar and Nightclub". If you're in town you can make you own decision.

Yo, I'd really like to hear that. Post some audio online man here!

Jesus. You know, you can practice your way into being a bitch--Think of One--but I don't think you can practice your way into genius. Did you ever hear Tom Harrell play "Everything Happens to Me"? Same thing. Something bigger at work here than practice.

gorgeous hair!!!

actually i read his biography and it confirms he was indeed a prodigy ;)

This is my all time favorite jazz standard played by my all time favorite Lee Morgan. I remember hearing this on the radio in the sixties LA. 105.1 with Chuck Niles.

So superb.
