These are two CDs of a period when he was at the height of his powers, previously issued on the Mosaic box ...

Jackie McLean: Destination Out

Read "Jackie McLean: Destination Out" reviewed by Clifford Allen

by Clifford Allen

Plagued as we are by historicism, it is not always easy to really hear the music of Charlie Parker as it was played in the clubs or even in studio rehearsals. In some ways, the importance of the artist is more through students and followers than in the firsthand practice of that artist: painter Hans Hofmann ...

Jackie McLean: The Jackie Mac Attack Live

Read "The Jackie Mac Attack Live" reviewed by AAJ Staff

Last year, with no fanfare whatsoever, this outstanding recording was reissued by Birdology, the reissue arm of Dreyfus Records. It features one of the greatest alto saxophonists in jazz history, in a 1991 club performance, going for broke, and in the process, making an album for the ages.

Jackie McLean: Jackie's Bag

Read "Jackie's Bag" reviewed by Hank Shteamer

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. The material on Jackie's Bag comes from two different sessions, each with a different supporting cast (Jan. ‘59, with Donald ...
