Blue Note, 1968
Following the runaway success of The Sidewinder in 1964,Alfred Lioncontinued to record trumpeterLee Morganfrequently in the hopes of capturing another funky boogaloo hit. While his subsequent albums may not have scaled the same commercial heights, Morgan certainly delivered the musical goods on his 1965 albumsThe Rumproller,The Gigolo, andCornbread, all of which stand among the finest outings in his formidable discography. Recorded over two dates that Summer,The Gigolofeatured Morgan with a dynamic quintet comprised ofWayne Shorteron tenor saxophone,Harold Mabernon piano,Bob Cranshawon bass, andBilly Higginson drums. A supremely confident set of swaggering hard bop, the album kicks off with the groovy opener Yes I Can, No You Cant, one of four Morgan originals featured here along with the up-tempo gems Trapped and Speedball, and stirring explorations of the 11-minute The Gigolo. The album closes with an exceptional arrangement of the ballad You Go To My Head which sways with sensual movement.
