Lee Morgan – Taru (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
By 1968, Lee Morgan had already survived personal turbulence that would have derailed lesser talents, and the loose, exploratory feel of *Taru* reflects an artist reclaiming his own creative space on his own terms. Benson's guitar brings a warmth rarely heard in Morgan's catalog, and Maupin's presence points toward the more adventurous sounds both men would pursue in the years ahead.
Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. Lee Morgan's 1968 album Taru found the trumpeter at a crossroads exploring a variety of styles from modal jazz and post-bop to beautiful balladry and funky boogaloos. The band here is notable for the elevating presence of guitarist George Benson and the addition of tenor saxophonist Bennie Maupin. This stereo Tone Poet Vinyl Edition was produced by Joe Harley, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original analog master tapes.
