Lee Morgan “Search for the New Land” LP

Search for the New Land puts the focus on hard-bop trumpet, blues-rooted phrasing, and a strong feel for soul-jazz grooves.

• Morgan leads Wayne Shorter, Grant Green, Herbie Hancock, Reggie Workman, and Billy Higgins.
• The extended title piece opens into a more searching modal atmosphere than the soul-jazz groove of The Sidewinder.
• The record shows Morgan stretching hard bop toward more exploratory writing without losing his direct trumpet sound.

For fans of Freddie Hubbard, Joe Henderson, and Art Blakey.
