Morgan and Shorter solo with a vengeance on some of Lee's finest compositions, including "Trapped," "Speedball" and the title, which is also heard in a previously unissued alternate take. ## Images ![Gigolo - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/519Ssl9va0L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Must-Buy *by J***F on Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2006* First of all, there isn't a non-star playing anywhere on this disc. Lee Morgan is THE man with the horn. Wayne Shorter puts in one of his best appearances ever. Harold Mabern, who continues to amaze to this day with Eric Alexander, is inspired. Bob Cranshaw sounds as good as he does on his sessions with Grant Green, also from this time. And Billy Higgins has never had anything short of a great session in his life.Of course, a great disc requires more than that just a bunch of superstars to show up in a studio ready to lay down some tracks. It takes mutual respect, great songs, and careful listening to the other musicians to get that unique feel of a 'must have session'. All three are here in abundance.The end result in this case is just stunning. I've played this disc for jazz afficiandos from age 19 to 83, and every single one of them recognized how special it was on their first listening.As noted by other reviewers, there are many other fine Lee Morgan discs. I'm especially fond of The Sidewinder. But if you dig Lee, and you don't have this disc, your collection has a big hole and you are missing a lot of fun. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lee Morgan's greatest achievement! *by A***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2011* To me "The Gigolo" is by far the best of the Lee Morgan's albums and I own every single one. Not only because it contains two of the very best tracks in its entire and very consistent discography, the very swinging "Yes I can, no you can't" (a Morgan original), and the intense "The Gigolo" (with a fascinating alternate take) but because the other three tracks "Trapped" (by W.Shorter), "Speed" (a Morgan live classic), and "You go to my head" (beautiful arrangements of this very pretty bossa nova sound song),are indeed great tracks, and not just something to fill up the album with as sometimes happens to be in Morgan's discography.It has been a too worn out cliche to review Morgan's Blue Note's albums post "Sidewinder" as mere attempts to repeat the huge and unexpected success of the famous and catchy track of the album title. That might be true for "The Rumproller" but not for other sessions. There is no doubt that the successful formula seems to be always in Morgan and Blue Note's minds, but often this is just a point of departure that can outcome wonderful results. "The Gigolo" is a different and better album, more intense, with long tracks where Morgan and Shorter solo brilliantly and powerfully in length inspiring each other. This was the last encountered of this duo that has left an impressive legacy. The group sounds in its best moments, very rocky and solid, with everybody fully connected and reacting to what others are doing, creating a very big and rich sound that reminded me to some Coltrane classic Quartet. The rhythm section is fabulous, with everybody in particularly great shape (B.Higgins, B.Cranshaw, and Harold Mabern). Some reviewers point out that the RVG edition has too much sound, and it is true. You can perfectly hear every instrument, blending Morgan and Shorter solos with the rest of the group. To me this is a plus, and if I want to get rid of it and isolate and focus in the front line, I just modify the equalizer. In my opinion, this session happens to be that way, an integral unit, with extraordinary solos but fully involved with the rest. That's why I love how rich and alive this remastering sounds.This is one of the greatest albums in jazz history. A true treasure. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Invigorating! *by E***Y on Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2006* I know nothing about Lee Morgan, but I was rummaging thru the Jazz section and had a chance to sample this CD, sounded pretty good at the store so I bought it. It is brillliant. For those of us who only associate Miles Davis and Chris Botti to the trumpet, it is time to discover Lee Morgan. From the first track "Yes, I can, No you can't " to the last "You go to my Head" you get an instant liking to Morgan and appreciate his mastery of the trumpet. I mostly like "Speedball" because of the lightness of the composition and its improvisitional qaulities. It's also a treat to hear Wayne Shorter's accompaniment with his tenor sax. I know this CD is from 1965 but I think it will keep on winning new fans like myself. It's good stuff. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/150373839-gigolo](https://www.desertcart.be/products/150373839-gigolo) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
