A couple weeks ago, I ordered some CDs off of amazon.com. Talk about a deal! They were all Blue Note records. I got this incredible album, The Gigolo, by Lee Morgan. Morgan definitely has a bluesy-soul type R&B vibe to his trumpet playing. It's almost like he understands the blues so well that he applies it to jazz without even trying. This is definitely a jazz classic.
Blue Note records were to jazz what Stax was to R&B, where every album was just an absolute classic without fail for just about ten years. Too bad times like this are over. People just don't go into the studio and record material this good this fast any more. And talk about production, there almost is none.
Anyway, if you can, get this record. It's amazing.
