When talking about him, Helen gives the film title: “I called him Morgan”. By making Lee Morgan’s wife speak, Kasper Collin is not investigating into the piece of news that put an end to the lightning career of the jazz trumpet player. Choosing some specific archives gives some indication as to his peculiar presence. His impressive discography is barely discussed. What’s key instead is to grasp Helen’s words after a very long silence. Everything revolves around a single audio tape, between breathing and whistling.
