I just found out that alto saxophonist Jackie McLean passed away on Friday. He was 73. We are constantly reminded that the time of the great ones is slowly slipping away and one day, they will all be gone. McLean’s sound definitely had personality and I always respect of musician who can develop his own, distinct voice. Thanks for the memories, Mr. McLean.
A good article on Mr. McLean can be found here:
