Candy is an album by American jazz trumpeter Lee Morgan recorded on November 18, 1957 and February 2, 1958 and released on Blue Note in 1958. The quartet features rhythm section Sonny Clark, Doug Watkins and Art Taylor.
Reception
The AllMusic review by Stacia Proefrock states, "Not merely a technical marvel, his tone on this album was sweet and his playing fluid, infused with joy and crisply articulated emotion. Morgan would later turn out to be an expert songwriter, but here songs like Buddy Johnson's 'Since I Fell for You,' and Jimmy Heath's 'C.T.A.' gave him ample space to show off his talents."[2]
