About
Lee Morgan's trumpet solo is the 3rd of 5 on this recording, following Curtis Fuller's trombone and followed by Paul Chambers on acoustic bass. Spanning three choruses of the 38-bar AA' form at an up-tempo 248 BPM with a swing feel in E♭, the solo runs approximately 1:51. Lee Morgan's three trumpet choruses display the fearless virtuosity that had already made him a star at just nineteen years of age. "Moment's Notice" is one of the most demanding compositions from John Coltrane's 1957 album Blue Trane, built on a rapidly moving harmonic sequence in the unusual AA' form of 38 bars. Lee Morgan was 18 to 19 years old at the time of this 1957 recording.
