Chalupa Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Great find!! So that's Harold Mabern, Jymie Merritt, Billy Harper and who's on drums? Freddie Waits?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted March 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Yep. The music's been out on Fresh Sound, so there might be a video of this band doing "Sidewinder", which, when Billy starts to play, really goes off somewhere else...

bertrand Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 'Sidewinder' was shortened to make way for the credits. I think they don't actually finish it in the film. I once dreamed it was incomplete because Lee was shot during the performance... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewHill Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Thanks for posting these! I always found this part of Lee's career fascinating...one of the great 'what if's' for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 I like the later Lee stuff. Would be interested in checking out that Fresh Sound CD, even if it is, you know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B. Clugston Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Looks like Jymie is playing his Ampeg five-string upright bass. Get the Fresh Sound. Also has a nice date with Jimmy Heath on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was wondering about that peculiar looking bass. Is it electric/acoustic or one or the other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montg Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Thanks for posting. This was a great period for Lee it's so sad to witness this great music knowing it would soon end so senselessly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I don't go with some of those comments that Lee was a declining force with faltering chops in later years and along with the 'Lighthouse' set these videos just go to prove it. Much as I like the performance of 'Angela' on the 2LP set the version here is even better I think. Dig also the fact that Jymie Merritt is up front and very interactive with the front line. Adds considerably to the performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 (edited) Credit Clip This clip has the intros/credits for the various musicians. The 'Soul' programme was shared with a performance by Horace Silver's group, hence the lineup. Some nice Mickey Roker drumming to kick things off. Lots of black leather jackets and afros !

sidewinder Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Hmm - there's a lady on the front row of the Morgan performance sat in the middle who looks quite a bit like the picture of Helen Moore on page 233 of Tom Perchard's book. I wonder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 (edited) About 2 minutes in on the tune 'I Remember Britt' I think (will have to check). She's in the middle. Edited March 25, 2008 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umum_cypher Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Looks like Jymie is playing his Ampeg five-string upright bass. A bit of an interview w/ Jymie Merritt 18 September 01, Warwick Hotel, Philadelphia JM: And I finally ran into [LM], I was living in Brooklyn and I ran into him one day on the street, and he said I’m forming a new group. By this time, we were down into the next generation of players. Because I had just come from rehearsal with Chick Corea, we were working, Chick and Joe Henderson. I was sort of working around with those guys at that time. And he said, Well, I’m coming back on the scene and I’m getting a group together. So I gave him my number and he said he’d call me in a couple of weeks. And we got together, and he had Harold Mabern, Mickey Roker, Bennie Maupin. TP: And you were on electric again. JM: Electric upright, yeah, Ampeg. That started earlier, when I came back to New York and I was working with Max Roach. The guy that had developed this instrument I had known for a long time. Hull, Everett Hull. I don’t know if he’s still alive, if he is he’s near a hundred (laughs). I was working one of those clubs on the East side, I think it was the Apartment, he sent somebody who brought me this rig. By this time the business had gone nationwide, and he sent me this custom made amp and this bass. Which I still have. So I was working with it, and I asked Max, what do you think if I take this overseas. We were always having problems touring with acoustic basses anyway. So he said OK, so that was the beginning of my using it. So when I joined Lee I told him what I was using and he, you know [didn’t mind], so I used that instrument for the entire tenure of my playing with him. We used it on the dates out in California, and then shortly after that, we got back to New York and he changed personnel. He got Freddie Waits and Billy Harper. Mabern was still on board. Then we started doing some things, and we recorded one album. He said, come down, we want to start editing the album, but we never got that far. In the interim, we went to work at Slugs in New York on the lower east side, and at that time … it was in February, cold, starting to snow now and then. And I’ll never forget it, it was Washington’s birthday, whatever year this was. 72, cause I had just moved back to Philadelphia to reorganise. I’d started a workshop, and I went back to get that hooked up. So I was commuting. And I was staying at one of the hotels on Broadway, and I came out of the building in the morning, I think it was Saturday morning ... (While we were talking Jymie spelled in English.)

Eric Posted October 15, 2021 Report Share Posted October 15, 2021 Listening to the "We Remember You" Lee CD today. Did a search for "I Remember Britt" (love that tune) and found this. Note sure if identical to the old YouTube video, but definitely an improvement on this: https://mosaicrecords.tumblr.com/post/163302535360/lee-morgan-i-remember-britt-its-amazing-how https://www.shoutfactorytv.com/soul/soul-s1-e9-lee-morgan-horace-silver-bobbi-humphrey/599b6b5d3d3f53151d002be2 All three of the "We Remember You" tracks are on the video, in color and of pretty good quality. Wow ...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
