by Marc Davis
Sometimes, thumbing through the old Blue Note catalogue, you wish for something brand new. Something not the usual Jimmy Smith--Lee Morgan--Lou Donaldson--Horace Silver.

Horace Silver Quintet: June 1977 (livelove Series Vol 2)
by Mark Sullivan
When the Horace Silver Quintet took the stage in Bremen in June, 1977, Silver was nearing the end of his long association with Blue Note Records.

Lee Morgan Indeed! – Blue Note 1538
by Marc Davis
The first time Lee Morgan entered a recording studio, he was just 18 years old and he was leading his own band.
