  • Lee Morgan Chronology 1956–1972 by Jeffery S
    Delightfulee Jeffrey S. McMillan University of Michigan Press Lee Morgan Chronology 1956–1972 By Jeffery S. McMillan This is an annotated listing of all known Lee Morgan performances and all recordings (studio, live performances, broadcasts, telecasts, and interviews). The titles of studio recordings are given in bold and preceded by the name of the session leader. Recordings that appear to be lost are prefaced with a single asterisk in parentheses: (*). Recordings that have been commercially issued have two asterisks: **. Recordings that exist on tape but have never been commercially released have two asterisks in parentheses: (**). Any video footage known to survive is prefaced with three asterisks: ***. Video footage that was recorded but appears to now be lost is prefaced with three asterisks in parentheses: (***). On numerous occasions at Slugs’ Saloon in Manhattan, recording devices were set up on the stage and recorded Morgan’s performances without objection from the trumpeter. So far, none of these recordings have come to light. The information herein is a collation of data from newspapers, periodicals, published and personal interviews, discographies, programs, pamphlets, and other chronologies of other artists. Morgan’s performances were rarely advertised in most mainstream papers, so I drew valuable information primarily from African-American newspapers and jazz periodicals, which regularly carried ads for nightclubs and concerts. Entertainment and nightlife columnists in the black press, such as “Woody” McBride, Masco Young, Roland Marsh, Jesse Walker, Art Peters, and Del Shields, provided critical information, often verifying the personnel of an engagement or whether an advertised appearance occurred or was cancelled. Newspapers that I used include the Baltimore Afro-American (BAA), Cleveland Call & Post (C&P), Chicago Defender (CD), New Jersey Afro-American (NJAA), New York Amsterdam News (NYAN), Philadelphia Tribune (PT), and Pittsburgh Courier (PC).

Free admission is through the Sculpture Garden gate at 8 West 54 Street. TOM HARRELL is known for his work with such musicians as Horace Silver, Sam Jones, and Richard Sussman. MONTY WATERS is known for his work with such musicians as Joe Lee Wilson, Eddie Jefferson, and Elvin Jones. He is also the founder of the Monty Waters Big Band. DAVID EYGES, after graduating from the Manhattan School of Music in classical cello studies, began to experiment in the realm of jazz. Lacking a role model for jazz cello, he derived inspiration and understanding from the music of Ornette Coleman, Archie Shepp, Lightnin1 Hopkins, and John Lee Hooker, as well as contemporary composers such as Hale Smith. He has since played with such musicians as Monty Waters, Jeanne Lee, Bob Moses, and the late Trevor Koehler. He has recently released his first album on Chiaroscuro Records entitled "The Captain", in which he performs his compositions in a quartet including Mark Whitecage on alto sax, Ronnie Boykins on bass, and Jeff Williams on drums. Much of Eyges1 work involves improvisation, and yet he never loses sight of the delicate balance between improvisation and composition.
