Lee Morgan - The Procrastinator (1967)
This record is a late 60s emerald that languished in the Blue Note vaults, to be dusted off in the 80s via Michael Cuscuna’s meticulous archiving. The session reveals a remarkable gathering of players that included 3/5ths of Miles Davis’ second great quintet: Wayne Shorter and Lee Morgan, reprising their frontline status with the Jazz Messengers, and a rhythm section of Herbie Hancock, vibist Bobby Hutcherson, Ron Carter and Blue Note house drummer Billy Higgins. This band, on any other day, is an all-time all-star event, but for (likely commercial) reasons that will remain with producer Alfred Lion, the session was summarily shelved.
The Hancock solo deserved a better fate!
