I have a couple of glasses of wine with dinner every evening. They are essential (for me and my wife) in making the dinner a completely enjoyable part of our day. I endorse that old saying: A day without wine....have no idea what that is?

String Quartet D.810 "Death And The Maiden"

Maybe it is because I heard the 1950's Lee Morgan Blue Note albums when they were first issued, but they are strong favorites of mine. He was a bright fresh new trumpet star in the 50's, and recorded with great hard swinging musicians such as Horace Silver, Hank Mobley, Pepper Adams, Wynton Kelly, and Philly Joe Jones, Charlie Persip and many others. Though I certainly enjoy most of Lee Morgan's recordings throughout his entire career, those from the 1950's hold a special place in my love of his music.
