Jackie McLean • A Ghetto Lullaby

 

Lullaby Review
by Scott Yanow
Within a five day period in 1973, altoist Jackie McLean, who had only made one album (a live set) between 1968-72, cut enough material for five records. This worthy set features his intense style in a quartet with pianist Kenny Drew, bassist Niels Pedersen and drummer Alex Riel, recorded live at Montmartre in Copenhagen. Although the material -- Drew's "Callin'," athe ballad "Where Is Love," a pair of William Gault songs and McLean's "Jack's Tune" -- is not all that memorable, the altoist's passionate solos and very distinctive sound uplift the music and make this an advanced hard bop set worth acquiring.

Crítica de Lullaby
por Scott Yanow
En un periodo de cinco días en 1973, el contralto Jackie McLean, que sólo había grabado un álbum (un directo) entre 1968 y 1972, grabó material suficiente para cinco discos. Este digno conjunto presenta su intenso estilo en un cuarteto con el pianista Kenny Drew, el bajista Niels Pedersen y el batería Alex Riel, grabado en directo en el Montmartre de Copenhague. Aunque el material - "Callin'" de Drew, la balada "Where Is Love" de Athe, un par de canciones de William Gault y "Jack's Tune" de McLean - no es del todo memorable, los apasionados solos del contralto y su sonido tan distintivo elevan la música y hacen de éste un conjunto de hard bop avanzado que merece la pena adquirir.
