Title:	The Sixth Sense
Label:	BLUE NOTE
Format:	LP
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	BST 84335LP

Recorded 1967. "For this lesser-known Lee Morgan LP, the trumpeter was starting to stretch beyond hard bop into more modal areas while retaining his easily recognizable sound. None of Morgan's originals (which are performed along with pianist Cedar Walton's 'Afreaka' and Cal Massey's 'The Cry of My People') caught on, but the music is creatively performed by the trumpeter, altoist Jackie McLean (who was always a perfect musical partner), the obscure tenor Frank Mitchell, Walton, bassist Victor Sproles, and drummer Billy Higgins." --All Music Guide

Title:	Taru
Label:	BLUE NOTE
Format:	LP
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	LT 1031LP

Recorded 1968. "Trumpeter Lee Morgan performs two funky boogaloos, a ballad and three complex group originals on this album whose music was first released in 1980. This is a transitional date with the hard bop stylist leaning in the direction of modal music and even anticipating aspects of fusion. His sextet (which includes Bennie Maupin on tenor, guitarist George Benson, pianist John Hicks, bassist Reggie Workman and drummer Billy Higgins) is quite advanced for the period and inspires Morgan to some fiery and explorative playing." --All Music Guide
