“Lee Morgan: The Last Session” by the great #LeeMorgan is the last studio session by him that was released after his death on February 19, 1972, at the ripe young age of 33, shot and killed by his then common-law wife Helen at Slugs’ Saloon in New York City. It was recorded at Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey featuring Morgan trumpet, #GrachanMoncur on trombone, #BobbiHumphrey on flute, #BillyHarper on tenor, #HaroldMabern on piano, #ReggieWorkman on bass, #JymieMerritt on bass and #FreddieWatts on drums. Released in May of 1972 a couple months after his death, this double LP #BlueNoteRecords United Artist original ironically has no songs written by Lee. My favorite tune on this album is “In What Direction Are You Headed?” was written by the great Harold Mabern who I saw a couple years ago with the #EricAlexander Quartet at Blues Alley in Georgetown. To be honest I’m a liner notes guy who tries to read everything, but not a lot of thought was put in this overall makeup of the album cover. I’m guessing the great #ReidMiles was long gone when this design was approved. From Harold Mabern on electric piano and Jymie Merritt on electric bass this was Lee Morgan’s first attempt into Jazz Fusion, and you can tell by the direction of the music. It’s unfortunate that the brilliant and forward-thinking Morgan was cut down at such a young age, for as the music was changing, he would have adapted, as this final statement valiantly suggests. . . . . . #Jazzrecords #JazzAlbum #classicjazz #jazzvinyl #Jazz #jazzjunkie #igvinylclub #igjazzvinyl #JazzRecordCollector #JazzVinylCollector #VinylJazz #CrateDigging #Vinyldigging #JazzRecordCollection #OnMyTurtable #MusicaJazz #JazzMan #JazzArt #JazzLife https://www.instagram.com/p/CT7xElkJtfa/?utm_medium=tumblr

Some other stuff.

Designer: Reid Miles

Photographer: Francis Wolff

"A marriage made in heaven", said Reid Miles.

Francis Wolff, would attend the Blue Note recording sessions, where he would capture these classic shots. He's the reason we got some of those greatest images of jazz giants. That Coltrane, that Hank Mobley, that Lee Morgan, that Kenny Dorham,that Wayne Shorter, name it, this Grachan Moncur lII, all thanks to Wolff.

Story goes that Reid Miles wasn't into this style of jazz, the hard bop, (or avante garde, what have you) that Blue Note was releasing. Instead Alfred Lions, co- founder of Blue Note Records would brief Miles on the feel of the record. Reid was paid 50 bucks per design. Blue Note covers were produced on low budgets and most times had to be created quickly.

No time for fuss, no money either. No excuses. The design solution was straight to it, clean, modern, classic.
