Great album but unfortunately the record that Morgan is always remembered by because of it's commercial success for a jazz album at the time.
The gems Lee Morgan should be remembered by IMO are 'Search for the New Land' and 'the Gigolo' - both featuring great playing from Wayne Shorter too.

I haven't heard "The Gigolo", but "Search For The New Land" is one of my Morgan favourites.
Another great album I forgot in my previous post is "Cool Struttin'" by Sonny Clark. :-)
