    Yes! Lee Morgan is the man! Right after clifford brown, he is (IMHO) the most underrated trumpet player around. I'm always surprised when casual jazz fans I know don't know who either of these trumpeters are.
     
    Don't forget the Lee-way LP w/"The Lion and the Wolf", or his brilliant solos on Blakey's "Big Beat" LP...however my absolute favorite lee morgan recording has to be the song "Search for a New Land". Sadly he was shot by a former girlfriend in the 70s (I believe while on stage...can anyone confirm this?)
