    The Cooker

    Tone Poet Vinyl
    €39,99

    Release date: May 29, 2020

    "Listening to Lee Morgan blow his molten solo on ""A Night In Tunisia"",  the opening track of ""The Cooker"", it’s hard to fathom that he was only 19 years old at the time. Recorded just two weeks after Morgan’s dazzling performance on John Coltrane’s masterpiece ""Blue Train"" in September 1957, ""The Cooker"" was in fact Morgan’s fifth Blue Note album as a leader. Bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Philly Joe Jones (both of whom also played on ""Blue Train"") are joined by baritone saxophone master Pepper Adams and the great Bobby Timmons on piano on this superbly swinging session.

    This stereo Tone Poet Audiophile Vinyl Edition was produced by Joe Harley, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original analog master tapes, pressed on 180g vinyl at Record Technology Incorporated (RTI), and packaged in a deluxe gatefold tip-on jacket."
