skeith Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 I saw this in Manhattan Friday night....it's called "I called him Morgan" It's as much about the woman who killed Morgan as it is about him so your mileage may vary. Lots of great clips (mostly from the Jazz Messengers and I had seen most of them before) and it is great to be reminded of what a tremendous musician he was.

jlhoots Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Getting excellent reviews. Actually opens in my town on Apr. 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeith Posted March 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 I am glad the film is well reviewed but I have to say a lot of the film is about his murderer and it is quite sympathetic to her....so I would guess some folks might not be too thrilled about that.

sidewinder Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) I'm bursting to see this movie - hopefully it will end up on Amazon Prime and get a decent regional UK run. Remember buying the 'Memorial Album' as a cutout back in the day, hearing the story of the Slugs' murder and hoping that one day that the full story would come out. Looks like it finally has - nearly 40 years after I thought that.. Edited March 27, 2017 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I recall, the Slugs murder gets a pretty full coverage in Lee Morgan: His Life, Music and Culture by Tom Perchard (who posts here under the name of umum cypher).
