The rhythm section is created by the musicians of the Audiofeeling Band\, whereas the guests are thematically related to the work of the artist that is presented. Each concert serves not only a meeting with the history of jazz music but also gives a unique opportunity to listen to (live!) the outstanding guests of Paweł Kaczmarczyk. \nLEE MORGAN \n(1938-1972) \n \nA cornerstone of the Blue Note label roster prior to his tragic demise\, Lee Morgan was one of hard bop’s greatest trumpeters\, and indeed one of the finest of the ’60s. An all-around master of his instrument modeled after Clifford Brown\, Morgan boasted an effortless\, virtuosic technique and a full\, supple\, muscular tone that was just as powerful in the high register. His playing was always emotionally charged\, regardless of the specific mood: cocky and exuberant on up-tempo groovers\, blistering on bop-oriented technical showcases\, sweet and sensitive on ballads. In his early days as a teen prodigy\, Morgan was a busy soloist with 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. He also found ways to mimic human vocal inflections by stuttering\, slurring his articulations\, and employing half-valved sound effects. Toward the end of his career\, Morgan was increasingly moving into modal music and free bop\, hinting at the avant-garde but remaining grounded in tradition. He had already overcome a severe drug addiction\, but sadly\, he would not live to continue his musical growth; he was shot to death by his common-law wife in 1972. \n \nPAWEŁ KACZMARCZYK \n \nb.
