| Good documentary on Lee Morgan on Netflix: "I Called Him Morgan". It includes content from interviews with his wife Helen, recorded one month before her death. |

Thanks for turning me on to that. I got the story on the night of Lee's death from Billy Harper but didn't really have a broader context of the relationship. Just finished watching it.

I thought it was pretty good. It was sad. I wish it had dealt more specifically with his music--his composing, playing, practicing and different stages in his career.
It was pretty much just his personal life, but the soundtrack did have a lot of his music, and it did have former bandmates being interviewed, which was interesting. |
