So maybe you're not really into jazz and you don't understand why other people are, well, I've got an answer to your question and it's called "The Rumproller."
If you don't like this song, then you're probably not going to like any jazz, because this song by the fantastic Lee Morgan and the guys from 1965, is just freakin' awesome from start to finish!
When it gets to about the six minute mark and they back it off a little bit, you just might think you died and went to heaven for a few minutes.
LEE MORGAN - Trumpet
JOE HENDERSON - Tenor Sax
RONNIE MATHEWS - Piano
VICTOR SPROLES - Bass
&
BILLY HIGGINS - Drums
Music so sweet you'll wish it never ends!
Lee
Morgan led an amazing but tragic life, and if you've got nine minutes
to spare, I suggest you watch this video, it's sad, it's complex, and somehow sometimes, this is what it takes to create freakin' great music.
