Ceora
Lee Morgan
‘Ceora’ by Lee Morgan [Cornbread, 1965 Blue Note] (recovered)
This session (reissued on CD by Blue Note) is best known for introducing Lee Morgan’s beautiful ballad “Ceora,” but actually all five selections (which include Morgan’s “Cornbread,” “Our Man Higgins,” “Most Like Lee,” and the standard “Ill Wind”) are quite memorable. The trumpeter/leader performs with a perfectly complementary group of open-minded and talented hard bop stylists (altoist Jackie McLean, Hank Mobley on tenor, pianist Herbie Hancock, bassist Larry Ridley, and drummer Billy Higgins) and creates a Blue Note classic that is heartily recommended.
“A great teacher is one who realizes that he himself is also a student.”
— Herbie Hancock (via dglsplsblg)

Autumn is upon us.
Yo, hire me.
If only it were that easy.
Slow. Focused. Practice.
