At the time
Miles Davis recorded these three 1951-1955 sessions, the trumpet player had
just begun his soon-to-be spectacular career. As part of five milestone
Prestige and Blue Note albums, these tracks features some of the most
representative young lions of its time, including Sonny Rollins, Milt Jackson,
J.J. Johnson, Ray Bryant, Oscar Pettiford, Charles Mingus and Art Blakey among
others. This complete collection of studio recordings under the leadership of
Davis, is dedicated to the memory of Jackie McLean, a tribute to one of the
most misunderstood jazzmen in the history of modern jazz whose cohesive, solid
phrasing and distinct, harsh-like sonority would make him into one of the most
representative jazzmen of a blues-full hard bop style.
A true cry
from the heart, piercing and ragged, Jackie McLeans tone has always been his
strong point. David H. Rosenthal
