Jackie McLean • Action Action Action

 

Review by Scott Yanow
This recording, whose music has been reissued as part of a Mosaic Jackie McLean box set, has several selections that are quite fascinating. McLean (along with trumpeter Charles Tolliver, vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson, bassist Cecil McBee, and drummer Billy Higgins) plays free hard bop on "Action" (which does not have a specific set of chord changes to follow), a pair of Tolliver compositions ("Plight" being the most well known) and even the standard "I Hear a Rhapsody" (McLean's feature). Only the bluesy "Hootnan" is a bit more conventional, although the solos are far from predictable. This album is full of exciting music that has long been overshadowed.

Crítica de Scott Yanow
Esta grabación, cuya música ha sido reeditada como parte de una caja de Mosaic Jackie McLean, tiene varias selecciones que son bastante fascinantes. McLean (junto con el trompetista Charles Tolliver, el vibrafonista Bobby Hutcherson, el bajista Cecil McBee y el batería Billy Higgins) toca hard bop libre en "Action" (que no tiene un conjunto específico de cambios de acordes a seguir), un par de composiciones de Tolliver ("Plight" es la más conocida) e incluso el estándar "I Hear a Rhapsody" (característica de McLean). Sólo el blues "Hootnan" es un poco más convencional, aunque los solos están lejos de ser predecibles. Este álbum está lleno de música emocionante que ha sido eclipsada durante mucho tiempo.
