Candy is a studio album by American jazz trumpeter Lee Morgan, recorded on November 18, 1957, and February 2, 1958, and released by Blue Note Records in late 1958. The album features Morgan in a quartet setting with pianist Sonny Clark, bassist Doug Watkins, and drummer 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."Proefrock, S.
