After making his debut alongside a stellar Dizzy Gillespie, Lee Morgan quickly established himself as one of the great virtuosos of jazz trumpet. A sideman for numerous stars such as Hank Mobley, John Coltrane, Art Blakey, Jimmy Smith, and Wayne Shorter, he truly made his mark as a leader during the Hard Bop era.
Recorded in 1964, "Search For The New Land" was not released until 1966. Considered one of Lee Morgan's essential albums, this work had a lasting impact on the ears of jazz connoisseurs. This classic by the trumpeter is now available in a 180-gram vinyl edition, featuring prestigious collaborations alongside the master: Herbie Hancock (piano), Reggie Workman (double bass), Billy Higgins (drums), Wayne Shorter (saxophone), and Grant Green (guitar).
