Listened to all of "Destination Out" while trying to get some studying done. That wasn't working (I'd rather listen to Jackie than study :rolleyes:) , so I'm going to have to listen to some more Jackie when I'm done with studying for the weekend.

Ditto "Shades of Red" and "Let Freedom Ring," as well as "Demon's Dance" and "Old and New Gospel," plus the Birdology Tribute to Charlie Parker with J Mac, Johnny Griffin and Cecil Payne on saxophones, Duke Jordan, piano, Roy Haynes, drums, amongst others. And "Donna" with Miles Davis on Blue Note.

"Hip Strut" from "New Soil." The first time I heard it (when it came out), it felt like his life had been at stake there and this was a record of how he had prevailed. Also two earlier tracks, "Help" and "Beau Jack" from "Jackie McLean and Co.," that have a similar "at stake" feeling, though the outcome then seemed likely to be dire.

- Swing, Swang, Swingin'

- Alto Madness

- and Sonny Clark's Cool Struttin' for some of my favorite Jackie McLean!

Nobody played "A House is Not a Home" like Jackie McLean.

I've been spinning 'Consequence". Maybe my favorite McLean actually. Him and Lee Morgan, Smilin' Billy, Harold Maeburn....they're soooooo burning on this recording.

I'll have to give this one another listen. I prefer his more inside out stuff. I read somewhere that Consequence was not released because Alfred Lion wanted Jackie to make more of the avant leaning stuff.

Listened to New Soil, Right Now and Destination Out yesterday. Went to see Sonny Simmons last night and they were playing Action at the venue. Just put on New and Old Gospel.
