Jackie Mclean – Mclean’s Scene

Only 1 left in stock

$40.00

“Altoist Jackie McLean tended to downgrade his Prestige recordings due to the low pay, the little prior preparation, and the jam session feel of the music. Although all of the above is true, the music (while not on a par with his Blue Note recordings of the ’60s) is still pretty worthy, particularly when compared to the output of his contemporaries. McLean never really copied Charlie Parker and was one of the first in his generation to develop his own sound. Three of the six selections on this LP (a pair of standards and a blues) feature McLean with trumpeter Bill Hardman, pianist Red Garland, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Art Taylor. The remainder of the set is from a marathon quartet set with pianist Mal Waldron, bassist Arthur Phipps, and drummer Art Taylor, which would result in material that was used as part of five separate albums. McLean is in lyrical form on “Our Love Is Here to Stay” and “Old Folks” while playing with great intensity on his accurately titled original “Outburst.”” – allmusic.com
