Lee Morgan's 1964 hard bop smash The Sidewinder in the Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series, with Joe Henderson, Barry Harris, Bob Cranshaw and Billy Higgins.
The Sidewinder became one of Blue Note's best-selling albums, and its title track crossed over onto the Billboard Hot 100. Irresistible, soulful hard bop.
Recorded at the Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, The Sidewinder finds trumpeter Lee Morgan leading a crack quintet with tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson, pianist Barry Harris, bassist Bob Cranshaw and drummer Billy Higgins.
The title track's boogaloo groove is one of the catchiest tunes in jazz, "Totem Pole" and "Gary's Notebook" swing hard, and "Hocus-Pocus" is a bright, fiery burner. A perfect jazz starter record.
