Cornbread (album)
Cornbread is an album by American jazz trumpeter Lee Morgan. Recorded in September 1965 but released on the Blue Note label in early 1967, the album features performances by Morgan, along with sidemen Herbie Hancock, Billy Higgins, Jackie McLean, Hank Mobley, and Larry Ridley. Though somewhat overshadowed by the commercial success of Morgan's previous album, The Sidewinder, and the artistic ambition of Search For The New Land, Cornbread is nevertheless noted as an example of Morgan's graduation to 'formidable' jazz composer status, as well as confirming his reputation as an exemplary trumpet player. The track 'Ceora' has become widely considered a jazz standard. Track listing
