Here's another in my Backgrounder series on great jazz albums you can play while working. Today, Lee Morgan's Lee-Way, a Blue Note album recorded in April 1960 and released in May 1961. The album featured Lee Morgan (tp), Jackie McLean (as), Bobby Timmons (p), Paul Chambers (b) and Art Blakey (d). The songs are Cal Massey's These Are Soulful Days, Morgan's The Lion and the Wolff, McLean's Midtown Blues and Massey's Nakatini Suite.
