Lee Morgan - Infinity - UHQCD
Japanese import
2024
Just two months after recording his exceptional sextet date Cornbread, the prolific trumpeter Lee Morgan was back in Van Gelder Studio in November 1965 with a slightly slimmed down - but no less robust - quintet lineup to record his next session, Infinity, which wouldn't be first released until 1981. Alto saxophonist Jackie McLean and drummer Billy Higgins - both of whom were featured on Cornbread - were at Morgan's side once again along with pianist Larry Willis and bassist Reggie Workman for a five-song set that ventured to the far reaches of the hard-bop tradition and beyond. Four compelling Morgan originals and McLean's engaging ballad "Portrait of Doll" cover a wide expanse of musical terrain including the probing title track, the laid-back 6/8 groove of "Miss Nettie B," the intricate interlaced lines of "Growing Pains," and the hard-charging closer "Zip Code."
