Lee Morgan, Infinity

Somehow I overlooked this CD when I created the HARD BOP JAZZCHIP that I have installed in the Audi— or at least I hadn't noticed it up to the time I got sick of feeding CDs into the laptop and waging hand-to-hand combat with the "featureset" of the iTunes monstrosity.

Recorded November 16, 1965.

I like the second track, Miss Nettie B, although the solos are bit subdued. On the back of the CD I have, it says

Infinity was one of several brilliant Lee Morgan albums that was not issued until the late 1970s. The late trumpeter was a prolific recording artist and, in the quest for follow-ups to The Sidewinder, many of the sessions left in vaults were artistically brilliant dates. This astonishing hard bop gem is issued on CD for the first time...

That seems to overstate it a bit, but having nothing from this on the HARD BOP JAZZCHIP was an overisight I think
