Lot 571 | Concert poster
Estimate value
£ 1 000 – 1 500
Rare concert poster for a performance by the Lee Morgan Quintet at Westbury Social Club, Long Island, on Sunday 28 January 1968, the event fusing ‘Jazz and Fashions’, printed in black on heavy blue card stock, 560 x 355 mm; together with a poster for the Lee Morgan Memorial Concert at Fordham University at Lincoln Center, New York, on 20 May 1972, featuring Art Blakey and the Messengers and the Irene Reid Trio, the poster designed by Jim Bell, printed in black and pink on a light card stock, 485 x 355 mm.
Prodigious jazz trumpeter Lee Morgan recorded with John Coltrane and played with many of the greats, most notably Dizzy Gillespie and Art Blakey, before launching a solo career, with his 1964 album The Sidewinder becoming Blue Note's best-selling record ever. Morgan tragically died at the age of 33 on 19 February 1972 when his common-law wife Helen Morgan shot and killed him following an altercation between sets at Slugs’ Saloon in New York City. Apparently, Lincoln Center Archives have no record of the 1972 Memorial Concert.
