Helen Morgan had nursed her common-law husband, jazz great Lee Morgan, through heroin addiction.
On a February night in 1972, she walked into Slug's Saloon in the East Village with a gun in her purse, and after they fought and he physically threw her out of the bar,
she returned and shot him. Then, Helen relinquished the gun and waited for the police to come for her. Many years later, she was interviewed about her life with the
brilliant and unpredictable musician.

try and catch that Adam.

I have "The Blues" by Martin Scorsese which is quite good too as its split into various sections with different directors including Clint Eastwood on Piano Blues.

Watched the Lee Morgan documentary last night.
Thought it was excellent, compelling, such a sad end to rare talent.
I own a few Lee Morgan cd's, and the film has led me to the live at the lighthouse album set ��

[WESTLOWER]

Great stuff Martin . Very Good record the lighthouse date.
Indeed a tragic story.
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned... especially with a loaded 45 in her fist !:mental:
