JSL: Jackie McLean - oooof!

[LMG]

Very atmospheric so far.

[Spock!]

I love a drop of vibes me



.

Me too. Lucky enough to have seen Milt Jackson at my first jazz concert, an afternoon & evening festival held in what had been the backstage area of the Reading Festival on the Monday. Glorious sunny day, he perfectly captured the moment for me. A personal Jazz on a Summer's Day!

“Esoteric” a very appropriate title

Written by Moncur, the trombonist

Interesting

And robust




.

[LMG]

Welcome Spock and Chris

I’d like to dedicate this to a dear friend, Marilyn, that died yesterday

My first serious girl friend that I’ve known 51 years



.

To Marilyn, her family and friends.


*chink*

Indeed




Roy Haynes On tubs- the lad plays on many fine albums by the likes of Rollins, Monk, Dolphy and Milt




.

And with Coltrane.

He stepped up when Elvin Jones was 'indisposed'

In the classic quartet.

[Spock!]

Very much a Grachan Moncur album - he wrote three of the four songs, and his playing is very accurate and pithy.

Another underrated writer and player.

[Spock!]

Onto Kahlil the Prophet - McLean's only composition on the album, and the most upbeat.

[LMG]

This is an excellent album.

Can't believe it has escaped me so far.

Let’s Swing!

Doobs!

All tracks have a wistful, soulful vibe.

Yes Spock - we’re ROCKING!

This is an excellent album.

I'm astonished by how many artists and albums you're already familiar with - there just isn't time for it all!

[LMG]

Kahlil Gibran presumably.

[C]

Qobuz have this in Hi Res

Mrs C is sitting in - she likes a drop of jazz, and I commented on the clarity of the sound

Crystal and over 60 years old!!!

Indeed.

But I have had several Jackie McLean patches where I feverishly sought out his stuff.

Pre Spotify, admittedly.

Kahlil Gibran presumably.

Yes, he wrote The Prophet which I’ve read




.

[Spock!]

Kahlil Gibran presumably.

I assume so, and not just because he's the only Kahlil I'm aware of!
