180g Vinyl LP!
Tone Poet Audiophile Vinyl Reissue Series!
Mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio from Original Analog Tapes!
Produced by Music Matters' Joe Harley!
Pressed at RTI!

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."

The Tone Poet Audiophile Vinyl Reissue Series was born out of Blue Note President Don Was' admiration for the exceptional audiophile Blue Note LP reissues presented by Music Matters. Was brought Joe Harley, a.k.a. the "Tone Poet," on board to curate and supervise a series of reissues from the Blue Note family of labels.

Extreme attention to detail has been paid to getting these right in every conceivable way, from the jacket graphics and printing quality to superior LP mastering (direct from the master tapes) by Kevin Gray to superb 180g audiophile LP pressings by Record Technology, Inc. Every aspect of these Tone Poet releases is done to the highest possible standard. It means that you will never find a superior version. This is IT.

This stereo Tone Poet Vinyl Edition was produced by Joe Harley, mastered by Kevin Gray (Cohearent Audio) from the original analog master tapes, pressed on 180g vinyl at Record Technology, Inc. (RTI), and packaged in a deluxe gatefold tip-on jacket.

An underrated gem.
