Lee Morgan could write a hook. The Rumproller proves it in the first eight bars — that rolling, irresistible groove that gave the album its name lodged itself in the American musical subconscious long before most people knew where it came from. Recorded in December 1965, this Blue Note record catches Morgan at his most melodically magnetic: playing hard, playing smart, and swinging with a poise that made him one of the defining voices of the era. With Joe Henderson on tenor, Harold Mabern on piano, Billy Higgins on drums, and Victor Sproles on bass — this is a front-to-back record, not just a title-track record.
