Original program for the European Tour of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers in December 1960, 7.75 x 8.25, signed inside in blue ballpoint, "Lee Morgan" and "Thanks, Art Blakey, Drums," and on the front cover, "Thanks, Art Blakey, Drums" and "Bobby Timmons." Also signed on a different inner page in red ballpoint by Blakey. In fine condition.
Lee Morgan (1938-1972), a jazz trumpeter and composer known for his song 'The Sidewinder,' was shot and killed at the age of 33 by his common-law wife after a confrontation at Slugs' Saloon in NYC. His autograph is thus exceedingly rare.
