It’s not just the compositions but also the orde in which they’re presented.

In one of the editions I own there’s a bonus track, ‘I remember Clifford’, where in my humble opinion LeeMorgan reaches his zenith.

BTW, there’s another, less-known “Moanin'”, an awesome piece by Charlie Mingus that is credited, sometimes, as “Calling Blues”.
