Lee Morgan (born July 10, 1938, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - died February 19, 1972, New York City, New York, USA) was an American jazz trumpeter known for his work in the hard bop genre. He collaborated with notable artists such as *John Coltrane*, *Dizzy Gillespie*, and *Wayne Shorter*. His influential album "The Sidewinder" released in 1963 remains a classic in the jazz world. Unfortunately, his promising career was tragically cut short when he was fatally shot in 1972.

With a distinctive trumpet sound and exceptional improvisational skills, Lee Morgan's music captivated audiences around the world. He drew inspiration from various musical styles including bebop and blues. Morgan's collaborations with fellow musicians showcased his versatility and creativity on stage.

Influenced by artists like *Freddie Hubbard* and *Clifford Brown*, Lee Morgan contributed significantly to the development of hard bop during the mid-20th century. His compositions combined catchy melodies with complex harmonies that pushed boundaries within the genre.

When Lee Morgan recorded his album Caramba, he was only months away from his 30th birthday, making the fact that this was his 23rd Blue Note recording even more astounding. A full-fledged master, his technical prowess on the horn matched by the emotional depth of his playing, and a composer who could conjure different moods and styles with his writing. Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series is all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Optimal.
