After trumpeter Lee Morgan's 1964 soul - jazz hit 'The Sidewinder' took the music world by storm, many artists sought to replicate his success. Morgan himself followed up with 'The Rumproller' in 1965. This album, beyond its groovy title track written by Andrew Hill, offers diverse music. The quintet explores different styles, from the post - bop of 'Desert Moonlight' to the calypso of 'Eclipso' and the mournful ballad 'The Lady' dedicated to Billie Holiday. The album cover, designed by Reid Miles, showcases brilliant typography. This 180g black vinyl is a Blue Note 80th anniversary edition, remastered from original analog tapes. It was originally released in 1965 and features Lee Morgan on trumpet, Joe Henderson on tenor sax, Ronnie Mathews on piano, Victor Sproles on bass, and Billy Higgins on drums. Music label: Blue Note Records 2020.
Using this vinyl LP is easy. Just place it on a compatible turntable, gently drop the needle on the start of the groove, and enjoy the music. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting dirt or fingerprints on it, as this can affect the sound quality. Store the vinyl in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep it in its sleeve when not in use to protect it from scratches. If the vinyl gets dirty, you can use a vinyl cleaning brush to gently clean the grooves. This will help keep the sound crisp and clear.
