Trumpet legend Lee Morgan shines on The Rajah, a dynamic Blue Note session recorded in 1966 but long unreleased. Joined by a stellar band featuring Hank Mobley and Billy Higgins, Morgan delivers his signature blend of soulful groove and high-energy hard bop, with a title track that captures the spirit of his classic “The Sidewinder.”

This Tone Poet Series release brings out the album’s vivid sound, from the punchy presence of Higgins’s drums to Morgan’s confident solos and Mobley’s raw saxophone lines. An essential listen for both long-time jazz fans and newcomers, The Rajah stands out as a vibrant highlight from one of jazz’s most influential trumpeters.
