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\u2014but no less robust\u2014quintet line-up to record his next session Infinity, which wouldn\u2019t be first released until 1981. Alto saxophonist Jackie McLean and drummer Billy Higgins\u2014both of whom were featured on Cornbread\u2014were at Morgan\u2019s 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\u2019s engaging ballad \u201cPortrait of Doll\u201d cover a wide expanse of musical terrain including the probing title track, the laid-back 6\/8 groove of \u201cMiss Nettie B,\u201d the intricate interlaced lines of \u201cGrowing Pains,\u201d and the hard-charging closer \u201cZip Code.\u201d<\/p>\n
