The Procrastinator! He'd write songs on the way to the studio. Great talent that was seemingly effortless but what if he really put in the effort? Doesn't matter, his recorded legacy speaks for itself, amazing trumpeter Lee Morgan. This is a great guide to his career. I'll keep it to refer back to songs described in detail. Loved it!
To be fair, I picked this up more b/c the author is a friend of mine than b/c of the subject. But I did truly enjoy learning more about Lee - it also gave me a reason to increase my Lee Morgan audio library!
