Following the surprise crossover/pop success of "The Sidewinder", Lee Morgan indulged his creative side on this album, 

resulting in one of the most experimental sets of his career. Dominated by the over fifteen minute long title track, a slow-

simmering Post-Bop Magnum Opus that is by far the most daring track in Morgan's oeuvre, it begins with one of several 

mystical, almost psychedelic flourishes followed by a throbbing rhythmic theme, which introduces a new solo from Shorter, 

Morgan or Green each time it is repeated. From there, a brief detour is taken back into pure Hard Bop mode with the pleasant 

but otherwise fairly forgettable "The Joker", before launching into "Mr. Kenyatta", a Latin/Soul-tinged rave-up reminiscent of 

both Kenny Dorham and Horace Silver, which features some adventurous solos by Shorter, Green, Hancock and Morgan, 

followed by the graceful ballad "Melancholee", which subtly echoes the melodic theme of the title track in its horn lines. The 

album's closer, "Morgan the Pirate" ends things on a hopeful note, its upbeat tone seemingly signifying that the search 

referenced in the album's title was not one undertaken in vain. [ credit from online review]
