Lee Morgan - Search For The New Land (1966 US Mono) | First Afternoon Jazz Stream

Afternoon stream. Breaking tradition today! While the mornings on this channel are strictly reserved for digging deep into the heavy psychedelic rock crates, this afternoon marks my very first jazz live stream. For this maiden voyage into the world of hard bop, we are dropping the needle on an undisputed, high-concept masterpiece of the Blue Note catalog: an original 1966 US mono pressing of Lee Morgan’s Search For The New Land (BLP 4169). While it was recorded at Rudy Van Gelder's studio in early 1964, Blue Note famously shelved the record for two years to avoid distracting from the massive commercial chart success of The Sidewinder. When it finally dropped in '66, it revealed a profoundly serious, deeply abstract side of Morgan's genius. Backed by an absolutely unparalleled, volcanic lineup—Wayne Shorter on tenor sax, Herbie Hancock on piano, Grant Green on guitar, Reggie Workman on bass, and Billy Higgins on drums—this album is a monumental milestone in post-bop history. 🎧 Full Vinyl Rips Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj0yF7-9YQ9pEOi1yCUyAZikNmWVdz8Hn 📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vinyl_piper/ I sell my doubles and extras here: https://vinylpipershop.com/ #LeeMorgan #BlueNoteRecords #FirstJazzStream #PostBop #HardBop #JazzVinyl #MonoVinyl #VinylRip #1966Jazz #RudyVanGelder #WayneShorter #HerbieHancock #GrantGreen #VinylPiper #AfternoonStream
