Lee Morgan question


Hardbopjazz

Recommended Posts

Album titles are often a confusing thing on early Blue Note LPs. Lee Morgan’s first BN LP said Lee Morgan Indeed! on the front cover, and Presenting Lee Morgan on the back cover (no ”Vol. 1”). His second BN LP said just Lee Morgan on the front and Lee Morgan Sextet on the back (no ”Vol. 2”). His third said Lee Morgan Vol. 3 on the front, and just Lee Morgan on the back!

By the way, his last Blue Note album also was titled only Lee Morgan originally.

The early Hank Mobley records are no less confusing. Two different ones are identified only as "Hank Mobley Sextet" on the back, but have front identification as "Hank Mobley with Donald Byrd and Lee Morgan" and "Hank." Then you have "Hank Mobley Quartet," "Hank Mobley Quintet," and "Hank Mobley and His All Stars." "Hank Mobley Quintet" is identified on the front as only "Hank Mobley." After all that, Hank Mobley cuts another album on Blue Note. What is it called? Again, "Hank Mobley."
