Peggy's House Band plays Stanley Turrentine & Lee Morgan
Join us for Peggy's House Band playing the best of Blue Note jazz legends, Stanley Turrentine and Lee Morgan. "Earthy grounding in the blues & infectiously funky rhythmic sense".
Stanley William Turrentine was one the great American tenor saxophonists. He began his career playing R&B for Earl Bostic and later soul jazz recording for the Blue Note label in 1960, touched on jazz fusion during a stint on CTI in the 1970s. He was described by critic Steve Huey as "renowned for his distinctively thick, rippling tone and earthy grounding in the blues."
Lee Morgan was one of hard bop's greatest trumpeters. An all-around master of his instrument, Morgan boasted an effortless, virtuosic technique and a full, supple, muscular tone that was just as powerful in the high register. He had a taste for long, graceful lines, and honed his personal style while serving an apprenticeship in Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. As his original compositions began to take in elements of blues and R&B, he made greater use of space and developed an infectiously funky rhythmic sense.
Lineup:
Chris Bowden – Tenor saxophone
Thom Whitworth – Trumpet
Paul Deats – Piano
Martyn Spencer – Bass
Andrew Wood – Drums
