fyi for anyone else jamming out to lee morgan that there are a couple in amazon warehouseThis is my favourite classics month so far and I was actually a bit apprehensive about the liner notes. I'm a sucker for reading jazz-related books/essays and really didn't want it to be written by someone that was learning it all for the first time themselves (nothing against that it's just something we could all do ourselves).
I just read the ROTM page for Take Twelve and it's so refreshing to see someone actually reference the books and sources. Ashawnta Jackson has done a stellar job setting the scene in my opinion.
Lee Morgan's Jam Session Turned Powerhouse Album
It’s late 1961, and Lee Morgan is a man without. He’d lost his place to live; his wife, Kiko, whom he’d married just a year earlier, had left him; and, desperate for drug money, he’d sold his trumpet. There was a silence in his life.

Yay, so happy you’re keeping the Lee Morgan ROTM! I’m sure it’s going to be super delightful spin that one! Glad you didn’t swap as well as it’s sold out too!

Philadelphia International.
I agree it's most likely from that label, although another Philly Groove album from the folks that brought us Nat Turner Rebellion could be a dark horse candidate.

How bad is the warp? I’ve been trying to find a copy of this one and didn’t wanna rejoin VMP. If they offer you a replacement I’d be willing to buy it off ya…

Paging @NathanRicaud - any way to check stock on the Coleman Hawkins ROTM? I'd love to swap my October ROTM for it, but would be helpful to have some sense as to whether it might still be around. If you are able to help, much obliged!

Hey! There’s no way of me checking the stock on that one unfortunately! Hopefully The Hawk Flies High is still around as it’s a great album and the pressing for it is
