Lee Morgan Vee-Jay Records “Expoobident” (1960) with Clifford Jordan, Art Blakey, Eddie Higgins and Art Davis.     The word “expoobident” was coined by jazz vocalist and all around hipster-philosopher Babs Gonzalez as an all-purpose noun-adjective-verb to provide the most positive description possible.   This classic hard-bop set by a one-time only sextet at the height of their poignancy and power features Lee’s beautiful rendition of the standard “Easy Living” as well as Wayne Shorter’s “Fire” and the title track by Higgins.
