Product Details
Recorded in 1964 but held in the vaults for years before its eventual release, Tom Cat captures Morgan at a creative peak, just as the boogaloo movement was finding its footing in jazz clubs from Harlem to Philadelphia. The grooves here sit at that irresistible crossroads where hard bop loosens its collar and lets the rhythm section breathe, a sound Morgan understood in his bones long before it had a name.
Lee Morgan's once-shelved record is a highlight of his short-lived career as an influential trumpeter and hard bop pioneer. His prowling trumpet emulates it's titular tom cat, stepping out at night nocturnal and alert.
