Edward Lee Morgan (July 10, 1938 \u2013 February 19, 1972) was an American jazz trumpeter and composer.<\/p>\n
One of the key\u00a0hard bop\u00a0musicians of the 1960s, Morgan came to prominence in his late teens, recording on\u00a0John Coltrane’s\u00a0Blue Train\u00a0(1957) and with the band of drummer\u00a0Art Blakey\u00a0before launching a solo career. Morgan stayed with Blakey until 1961 and started to record as leader in the late ’50s. His song “The Sidewinder”, on the\u00a0album of the same name, became a surprise crossover hit on the pop and R&B charts in 1964, while Morgan’s subsequent recordings found him touching on other styles of music such as\u00a0post-bop\u00a0and\u00a0avant-garde jazz\u00a0as his artistry matured. Soon after\u00a0The Sidewinder\u00a0was released, Morgan rejoined Blakey for a short period. After leaving Blakey for the final time, Morgan continued to work prolifically as both a leader and a sideman with the likes of\u00a0Hank Mobley\u00a0and\u00a0Wayne Shorter, becoming a cornerstone of the\u00a0Blue Note\u00a0label.<\/p>\n
