Jackie McLean - One Step Beyond (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Jackie McLean spent the early '60s doing something genuinely difficult, holding onto the blues and bebop vocabulary he'd absorbed coming up alongside Miles Davis and Charlie Parker while simultaneously pushing toward the new thing Ornette was opening up. One Step Beyond captures that tension at its most electric, with a quintet that reads like a who's who of what jazz would become, Tony Williams was barely seventeen when this was recorded.
Inspired by Ornette Coleman, alto saxophonist Jackie McLean ventured into the realm of the avant-garde on his own terms, never abandoning his soulful sense swing and structure. With his 1963 album One Step Beyond he forged a distinctive inside-out sound with a unique quintet featuring Grachan Moncur III, Bobby Hutcherson, Eddie Kahn & Tony Williams. This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is stereo, all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
