McLean never disappoints.

Another lovely Jackie Mac album. Maybe a title not very often mentioned? I think it’s a very enjoyable session. In my view you just can’t go wrong with a Jackie McLean album. At least up to this point I haven’t heard a bad session from him. One of my favorite alto players.

This session offers some great jazz played by a stellar personell. The cats on this album are Jackie on alto, Tommy Turrentine on trumpet (my first original pressing title with him I believe, great player), Sonny Clark on piano, Butch Warren on double bass and Billy Higgins on drums. A nice cohesive group.

Favorite tune at this moment is probably the title track.

Happy to have found this wonderful copy as it seems to be quite scarce. Still plenty of titles left for me to try and acquire from McLeans discography.

Stay tuned for more original vintage gems from the shelves. Cheers!
