Lee Morgan - Search For The New Land - Full album (1964)


Playing Next: CROSSTOPS - Dirty Demos and Creamy Covers (Full Album)
Random Page  /  Random Album


A brilliant album that proves that even at the height of his success, Lee Morgan was one of the freest thinkers on Blue Note! The first cut on the album is the title track – “Search For The New Land” – and it’s a beautiful 16 minute exploration of modal jazz themes, with an unusual stop/start device as a means of ushering solos by different bandmates, like Wayne Shorter, Grant Green, and Herbie Hancock.
