Search for the New Land is an album by jazz trumpeter Lee Morgan. A set with a group of regular Blue Note sidemen, Search for the New Land was recorded before The Sidewinder was released. Although it was recorded in 1964, the album was shelved for two years, then issued with the original catalogue number 84169.[2]
It has been described by jazz commentator Scott Yanow as "one of the finest Lee Morgan records." The album reached #16 on Billboards "Black Albums" chart and #143 on "Pop Albums".
