Blue Note was so taken by 18-year-old trumpet prodigy Lee Morgan that they signed him in November 1956 and recorded and issued an album every two months. “The Cooker” was the fifth in a series of six such albums.
In the company of a superb quartet, the set demonstrates the full depth, range and technique of this remarkable teenager. An essential and rewarding part of Lee Morgan’s legacy.
