Doug Carn and Jean Carn's Black Jazz Records debut Infant Eyes returns from Real Gone Music on CD and LP. The duo was backed on the album by drummer Michael Carvin, saxophonist/flautist George Harper, trombonist Al Hall, Jr., trumpeter Bob Frazier, and bassist Henry Franklin (who also recorded two albums as a leader for Black Jazz). The album featured one Doug Carn original, "Moon Child," and six covers.  Doug also added lyrics to four of those covers: Bobby Hutcherson's "Little B's Poem," Wayne Shorter's "Infant Eyes," John Coltrane's "Acknowledgement (A Love Supreme)" and Horace Silver's "Peace."  The album became an underground hit and had two singles released (of only a handful the label ever released).  The first was "Moon Child."  The second single of "Peace" and "Little B's Poem" was credited to Jean even though she had not originally received billing on the album's cover.
