Lee Morgan

Lee Morgan was a prodigy: recruited to Dizzy Gillespie's big band while still a teenager, joining Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. But Morgan's personal life remained troubled, and during a fight with his girlfriend at a New York club, he was shot and killed, aged 33. This is a biography of the jazz trumpeter Lee Morgan (1938-72).

Lee Morgan a fost un copil minune: a fost recrutat in big band-ul lui Dizzy Gillespie pe cand era inca adolescent, alaturandu-se trupei Jazz Messengers a lui Art Blakey. Dar viata personala a lui Morgan a ramas tulbure, iar in timpul unei incaierari cu prietena sa intr-un club din New York, a fost impuscat mortal la varsta de 33 de ani.
