Director Kaspar Collin’s excellent I Called Him Morgan film documents the interconnected life and downfall of the late, brilliant trumpeter Lee Morgan and his common law wife Helen Morgan and is getting an impressively wide release for a documentary film on a jazz musician. We published a lengthy review of the film, too.
One of the film’s standout features is the amount of interviews with musicians who knew and could give firsthand accounts on their remembrances of Lee and Helen. That drove Suga’ in My Bowl host Joyce Jones into the digital archives and she dug up excerpts from previous shows with trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, bassist Bob Cranshaw, and pianist Harold Mabern for snippets on Lee Morgan. Check them out below.
