relyles Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 That was excellent. Thank you. I live in the Hartford area less than ten minutes way from both the University of Hartford and the Artists Collective. Jackie McLean's legacy and impact on the Hartford community is undiminished to this day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Enjoyed this very much - it makes a nice update/supplement to the ‘Jackie McLean on Mars’ documentary on Rhapsody Films. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Gil Noble did many good programs on Like It Is. I think he was on Channel 5 WNEW (before it was Fox) or Channel 7 WABC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul secor Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 I was pretty sure that it on weekend afternoons. This seems to agree with that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Like_It_Is_(TV_series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danasgoodstuff Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) Just listening to this (from 1959) with its crazy 3-2-1 2-1 1 vamp, it would be the height of hip iff it weren't for the even heightier stuff that came after.

JSngry Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 I can truthfully say that for me there is no Blue Note Jackie McLean record that isn't a "stone gas" (pardon my aging vernacularism) other than 'Bout Soul. And I really, really want to like that one, just can't get there with that. Other than Miles/Columbia, what other single label has so vividly an artist's "journey" (pardon my contemporaneous vernacularism) over such a relatively lengthy period? Perhaps a "rhetorical question" (pardon my rhetorical vernacularism), but really, that's the exception that proves the rule, if indeed it does.

What's yer prob with 'Bout Soul, the poetry the drumming or something else? But yeah, they did a great job of documenting Jackie Mac.

But yeah, they did a great job of documenting Jackie Mac. IIRC my problem with it is Scotty Holt. I heard him in a club in Chicago with Jackie at about that time, and in the course of one of Holt's "Hey, look at me, Ma!" solos, Jackie said ""ridiculous shit." I'm aware that this could well have been a term of praise, but I took it as the simple truth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 If Holt was on multiple records and club dates wouldn't that be an indication Jackie liked his shtick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's possible. It could also be that Holt was someone Jackie McLean knew and knew that he was reliable and affordable. Lots of things could come into play. Who knows? All speculation.
