1964 album by one of Hard Bop's greatest trumpeters, Lee Morgan, recorded at the Van Gelder Studio in Englewood, New Jersey, U.S. The infectious title track is perhaps Morgan's all-around best-known composition, which would go on to become a jazz standard, influencing sounds of future boogaloo and soul-jazz. The remaining tracks on the album are more conventionally Hard Bop, yet still forward thinking and universally solid.
