This is the first biography of the jazz trumpeter Lee Morgan
(1938-72). He was a prodigy: recruited to Dizzy Gillespie's big
band while still a teenager, joining Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers
not much after, by his early-20s Morgan had played on four
continents and dozens of albums. The trumpeter would go on to
cultivate a personal and highly influential style, and to make
records - most notably "The Sidewinder" - which would sell amounts
almost unheard of in jazz. While what should have been Morgan's
most successful years were hampered by a heroin addiction, the
ascendant black liberation movement of the late-60s gave the
musician a new, political impulse, and he returned to the jazz
scene to become a vociferous campaigner for black musicians' rights
and representation. But Morgan's personal life remained troubled,
and during a fight with his girlfriend at a New York club, he was
shot and killed, aged 33.
