The Sidewinder - Vinyl

1964 album by one of Hard Bop's greatest trumpeters, Lee Morgan, recorded at the Van Gelder Studio in Englewood, New Jersey, U.S. The infectious title track is perhaps Morgan's all-around best-known composition, which would go on to become a jazz standard, influencing sounds of future boogaloo and soul-jazz. The remaining tracks on the album are more conventionally Hard Bop, yet still forward thinking and universally solid.
