Jackie McLean: Jackie's Bag

Read "Jackie's Bag" reviewed by Hank Shteamer


Alto saxophonist Jackie McLean's Jackie's Bag is an enjoyable, if not terribly unique, manifestation of vintage Blue Note hard bop: hard-swinging, impeccably performed and recorded in gorgeous, crisp stereo by Rudy Van Gelder.
