Ceora is a jazz composition by American trumpeter Lee Morgan. It appears on the 1965 Blue Note album Cornbread, which was released in late January 1967 and recorded at Van Gelder Studio. The tune runs 6 minutes and 23 seconds and showcases a soul jazz and hard bop vibe. The recording features Morgan with Herbie Hancock on piano, Jackie McLean on alto sax, Hank Mobley on tenor sax, Larry Ridley on bass, and Billy Higgins on drums. Ceora has become widely regarded as a jazz standard and is seen as part of Morgan’s growth as a formidable composer beyond The Sidewinder.
