Two key albums from a young Jackie McLean – both very early entries in the "new thing" mode of the 60s! First up is Let Freedom Ring a record that features a young Jackie McLean at the height of his powers – really stretching out here, but never going too far out – a ... read more CD
Steeplechase (Denmark), 1972. Near Mint- ... $29.99
Jackie McLean opens it up at Cafe Montmartre in Copenhagen – blowing in the long, open-ended style usually associated with live dates from the club!

Long Drink Of The Blues ... CD New Jazz/OJC, 1957. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Long-blowing late 50s work from Jackie McLean – one of his standout sets as a leader from the pre-Blue Note years!

RCA (Japan), 1979. Used ... $14.99 22.99
A rare electric outing from legendary altoist Jackie McLean – and one that comes off surprisingly well, given that the move was quite a shift for the reedman! The album's got a spiritual current that McLean developed in some of his earlier 70s material – like his gems for the ... read more CD

Blue Note (Japan), 1959. New Copy ... $14.99 18.99

Tippin' The Scales (Japanese pressing) ... LP Blue Note (Japan), 1962. Near Mint- ... $49.99
A wonderful quartet session from the young alto genius Jackie McLean – recorded for Blue Note in the 60s, but not issued until many years later! That issue doesn't stop the set from being a classic killer, though – as the group features the stunning Sonny Clark on piano, still very ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

East Wind (Japan), 1978. Used ... $18.99
A very apt title – as Jackie McLean sits in for a soulful session with the Great Jazz Trio of Hank Jones, Ron Carter, and Tony Williams – all "old bottles" at this point in their career, but working together beautifully to brew some very mellow "new wine"! The album' ... read more CD

Thrust ... LP Tinker Too/We Are Busy Bodies (UK), 1979. New Copy (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
An incredible bit of electric funk from the hinterlands of Ohio – an obscure album that hardly saw the light of day back in the 70s, making its first national debut in this excellent reissue! The sound of the set is incredible – moody Fender Rhodes, Arp, moog, and organ over bass and ... (Soul, Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
