Charisma is exactly what the title promises: a masterclass in personality-driven jazz. Recorded in 1966 but held until 1969, it captures Lee Morgan at the height of his powers, leading a rare and formidable triple-horn front line. The sound is thick, brassy, and immediate, characterized by a city-slicker confidence that feels both sophisticated and street-smart. It is the sound of a musician who knows he is the coolest person in the room without ever having to say a word.
