A great album by Lee Morgan  and one not to pass up! The Rumproller often gets too easily lumped next to The Sidewinder because of an obvious title and cover similarity to that hit record but like that one, the album's far more than jazz cliche – and shows Lee Morgan to be one of the greatest jazz musicians of the 60s. The set starts off with the title cut, "The Rumproller" hard-wailing soul bop, in the manner of Lee's most popular work but then it easily flows into more sensitive material that has a freer, lyrical feel like the great original tune "Eclipso" and Wayne Shorter's "Edda" both of which are superb. Lee is astounding, as always, on trumpet and the rest of the group includes the great Ronnie Matthews on piano, plus Joe Henderson, Victor Sproles, and Billy Higgins. (80s DMM pressing. Cover has some sticker residue, a number of creases, and a small tear at the bottom of the spine.) https://www.dustygroove.com/item/7557
