Les McCann’s “On Time” was the eighth album of this talented and popular jazz pianist’s leader career. Always a consummately swinging and distinctively soulful communicator, he displays the full extent of his honest preaching, warmth and creativity in a range embracing the impressionistic on the introduction to On Time, and an expansive chordal approach on It Could Happen to You. In the pieces here, including four excellent originals by the group’s members, he is engagingly melodic over the opening of Fondue, a fine vehicle for improvisation, while Jefferson’s This for Doug is a lovely piece; and Maichen, by bassist Leroy Vinnegar, has a pretty, infectious melody, warmly embraced by McCann and the featured guest, Joe Pass, whose lucid solos are among the highlights of the album, particularly his theme statement on Yours Is My Heart Alone. Ron Jefferson and Vinnegar are ideal accompanists.

"On Time" de Les McCann fue el octavo álbum de la carrera de este talentoso y popular pianista de jazz. Siempre un comunicador consumado y distintivamente conmovedor, muestra toda la extensión de su honesta predicación, calidez y creatividad en un rango que abarca lo impresionista en la introducción de "On Time", y un amplio enfoque de los acordes en "It Could Happen to You". En las piezas aquí, incluyendo cuatro excelentes originales de los miembros del grupo, es atractivo y melódico en la apertura de Fondue, un buen vehículo para la improvisación, mientras que This for Doug de Jefferson es una pieza encantadora; y Maichen, del bajista Leroy Vinnegar, tiene una bonita e infecciosa melodía, abrazada calurosamente por McCann y el invitado especial, Joe Pass, cuyos lúcidos solos están entre los aspectos más destacados del álbum, en particular su declaración de tema en Yours Is My Heart Alone. Ron Jefferson y Vinnegar son acompañantes ideales.
