This week’s theme is pretty much what it says: Tracks from 10 random Blue Note records, Artists include Lee Morgan, Art Blakey, Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers, Arthur Taylor, Philly Joe Jones, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Louis Smith, Dizzy Reece, Jackie McLean, Pete LaRoca, Cliff Jordan, Jon Gilmore, Freddie Hubbard, Curtis Fuller, Sonny Clark, Dexter Gordon.

Speaking of Lee Morgan, I finally did get to see the documentary “I Called Him Morgan” the other day. Snuck off from work Monday morning, but don’t tell anyone. I liked the film and especially some of the clips: Morgan playing “Dat Dere” and “Moanin'” with Art Blakey, and a few others. The main focus of the film was on Morgan’s relationship with his common-law wife Helen, who shot him at the downtown New York jazz club Slugs back in 1972, when Morgan was only 33. Amazing how much he accomplished in such a short life. I would have liked the film to have focused a little bit more on Morgan — more about his childhood, his background and what it was the made him so special as a musician. Small complaints however: We have to appreciate any documentary that explores the music and musicians we love and treats them with the respect they deserve. Speaking of which, I have tickets to take my whole family to see Chasing Trane this weekend in New York City. Looking forward to exposing them all to more of Coltrane.
