Tom Cat (album)

Tom Cat is an album by Lee Morgan recorded in 1964, though not released until 1981. It was originally released as LT 1058, and issued with several other catalogue numbers ever since. While somewhat forgotten compared to such acclaimed favourites from Morgan's catalogue as The Sidewinder and Cornbread, it is notable for featuring a veritable who's who of Blue Note recording artists such as Art Blakey, Jackie McLean and Curtis Fuller.
