Deicide – Legion  

I don´t know about classical music, but I think me and my wife was some years ago at a place heard some stuff by Mahler,  and in that place there was only classical music in the shelves and when it was spinned that kind of Mozard or Bach it sounded more boring for our ears, but that somebody spinned a stuff called Mahler and imediatly it attracted our attention as some music that is much more interesting for our ears.   It sounded like if Mahler was the "Charles Mingus" of classical music, while the before mentioned composers where the "Oscar Peterson´s and Errol Garner´s" or worse still "Dave Brubeck´s"  of classical music.    I think there was another guy who was strong, I never heard him, but one of my youth fellows who played percussion told me that "he had heard Bruckner" and said that "Bruckner was the ultimate Rocker of his time, because he just did it, he didn´t give a shit for conventional things.,,,,,"  I had told that my fatha and he said, it sounds funny what your friend said, but there is some truth in it....

Glad to hear that.  And I like your musical tastes, it is more demanding music. I like straight ahead as well and have to play some of it to make money, but I had heard the kind of "jazz" that I can´t play, before I started to perform ( I mean pianoless "new thing" stuff, let´s say 2 horns, bass and drums, or just a trio of horn, bass and drums) so I was not so much receptive for the typical 50´s mainstream many folks like to hear,,,,,

Is it possible that this is a posthum-re-issue, because as I noticed, the original BN-albums of Jackie McLean always had that typical BN cover art, mosty photos of the musicians as cover photo. I even think I don´t know the tunes on this here.  Once in the late 80´s I bought a strange "BN" album of McLean titled "Tippin´the Scales" but it didn´t look like a classic BN album, and I was disappointed by the content, because though it was from the eary 60´s it sounded older.  I love Jackie McLean mostly for what he did on BN on stuff like "Let Freedom Ring",  "One Step Beyond", "Destination Out" and "Devil Dance", those was the albums I liked mostly.
