Jackie McLean • Lights Out!

 



Review by Scott Yanow
Altoist Jackie McLean's second session as a leader is reissued on this CD. The music that he makes with trumpeter Donald Byrd, pianist Elmo Hope, bassist Doug Watkins and drummer Art Taylor is essentially hard bop with fairly simple (or in some cases nonexistent) melody statements preceding two romps through the "I Got Rhythm" chord changes, a pair of blues, a thinly disguised "Embraceable You" and a straightforward version of "A Foggy Day." Enjoyable if not really essential music from the up-and-coming artists.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
La segunda sesión de la altoista Jackie McLean como líder se reedita en este CD. La música que hace con el trompetista Donald Byrd, el pianista Elmo Hope, el bajista Doug Watkins y el baterista Art Taylor es esencialmente hard bop con declaraciones melódicas bastante simples (o en algunos casos inexistentes) que preceden a dos retozos a través de los cambios de acordes de "I Got Rhythm", un par de blues, un "Embraceable You" apenas disfrazado y una versión sencilla de "A Foggy Day."Música agradable, si no realmente esencial, de los artistas emergentes.
