JEREMY PRICE - LEE MORGAN LEGACY
Thu, Sep 12
No longer on sale
Lee Morgan Legacy is a Vancouver-based project that presents Lee Morgan's music faithfully and with reverence. While Lee's music was not flute-centric by any stretch, he did include flute in his later recordings and also recorded with flutist Bobby Humphrey on Blue Note. Additionally, Lee recorded with both Bennie Maupin and Billy Harper on flute; the former on Lee's Live at The Lighthouse recording and the latter on Lee's final Televised recording, on the community access show called "Soul" in early 1972.
Imagining Lee would have continued to record with the flute had he lived, the Lee Morgan Legacy began in 2023 in Vancouver as a passion project for jazz flute devoted to resurrecting the spirt and vibe of Lee's music and the times it was created in. The band is stacked with all the right indgredients necessary for a tasty musical meal and the bandleader gets to celebrate his actual birthday in the right place at the right time !
With Jeremy Price - flute, Julian Borkowski - trumpet, Lucas Dubovik - tenor saxophone, Tilden Webb - piano, Brad Pearson - bass and Joe Poole - drums
