"I can't believe I'm the first to review this. After not playing this disc for years I dusted this off the other day, listened to it, and was ashamed at myself for letting it get dusty. Man this cooks. I know Jackie McLean is a sax legend and has countless releases, but this is the only one I've heard by him. This 59-minute treat is a tasty bop tinged feast played by a seven-piece lineup (trumpet, trombone, sax, vibes, piano, bass and drums). All eight songs are original compositions, three are ballads and one has a brief vocal passage. A very enthusiastic exciting disc, and for less than five bucks used, this is a no-brainer purchase if you like jazz."
