Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. Listening to Lee Morgan's molten solo on "A Night In Tunisia," the opening track of The Cooker, it's hard to fathom that he was only 19 years old at the time. Recorded shortly after his dazzling performance on John Coltrane's masterpiece 'Blue Train' in 1957, The Cooker was in fact Morgan's 5th Blue Note album as a leader. Bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Philly Joe Jones are joined by baritone saxophone master Pepper Adams and the great Bobby Timmons on piano on this superbly swinging session.
