Jackie McLean • McLean's Scene

 

Review from AllMusic (by Scott Yanow):
Altoist Jackie McLean tended to downgrade his Prestige recordings due to the low pay, the little prior preparation, and the jam session feel of the music. Although all of the above is true, the music (while not on a par with his Blue Note recordings of the '60s) is still pretty worthy, particularly when compared to the output of his contemporaries. McLean never really copied Charlie Parker and was one of the first in his generation to develop his own sound. Three of the six selections on this LP (a pair of standards and a blues) feature McLean with trumpeter Bill Hardman, pianist Red Garland, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Art Taylor. The remainder of the set is from a marathon quartet set with pianist Mal Waldron, bassist Arthur Phipps, and drummer Art Taylor, which would result in material that was used as part of five separate albums. McLean is in lyrical form on "Our Love Is Here to Stay" and "Old Folks" while playing with great intensity on his accurately titled original "Outburst."

Reseña de AllMusic (por Scott Yanow):
El altista Jackie McLean tendía a menospreciar sus grabaciones para Prestige debido al bajo pago, la escasa preparación previa y el ambiente de jam session de la música. Aunque todo lo anterior es cierto, la música (si bien no está a la par de sus grabaciones para Blue Note de los años 60) sigue siendo bastante valiosa, especialmente en comparación con la producción de sus contemporáneos. McLean nunca copió realmente a Charlie Parker y fue uno de los primeros de su generación en desarrollar su propio sonido. Tres de las seis selecciones de este LP (un par de standards y un blues) presentan a McLean con el trompetista Bill Hardman, el pianista Red Garland, el bajista Paul Chambers y el baterista Art Taylor. El resto del set proviene de una maratónica sesión de cuarteto con el pianista Mal Waldron, el bajista Arthur Phipps y el baterista Art Taylor, que daría lugar a material utilizado en cinco álbumes separados. McLean está en forma lírica en "Our Love Is Here to Stay" y "Old Folks", mientras toca con gran intensidad en su acertadamente titulado original "Outburst."
