Details:
altoist Jackie McLean made his recording debut as a leader with this album when he was 24. He is here in full command of his musical gifts And plays with a lot of guts drive heated emotion And a good beat. On these early days Jackie's concept And playing still reflected a strong Bird-influence but he was not far from finding his own style And voice. This set is certainly worth hearing And the presence of trumpeter Donald Byrd another young lion is definitely a plus. Listening to these sides we can understand why Byrd And McLean later became major jazz voices
