Dave James Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 In light of Chewy's recent "pick-em" post on Jackie McLean's Blue Note or Prestige recordings, I thought McLean fans might enjoy this half-hour video that Marc Myers recently posted on his JazzWax website. Maybe more than you wanted to know about Jackie Mac, but interesting nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnS Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Well worth 30 minutes of your time. Thanks for posting Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 (edited) Thanks - have wanted to see this for some time. We're lucky that Rhapsody Films funded and put out obscurities such as this, to document players like McLean going about their regular day-to-day business. Good bit of footage with the front-line with Woody Shaw. Presumably that is Scott Holt on bass? Some interesting thoughts on Donald Byrd and his 70s stuff too. A lot of good sense in Jackie's comments. Edited October 30, 2011 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Johnson Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 WOW. I can't thank you enough for hipping me to this. Definitely worth a watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmce Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Yeah, great great video. Does anyone have info on the recording session that was being filmed? Looked like Cuscuna in the background there. I was digging it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) Looked like Cuscuna in the background there. I was digging it. Yes - I was thinking that too. He got everywhere. Is this one of the 'Cosmic Brotherhood' recording sessions? Edited November 2, 2011 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felser Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 Finally got a chance to watch this. Spellbinding, a great way to spend 30 minutes. A window into the soul of Jackie McLean the man. Thanks so much for posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
