How's that standing up these days? It made waves at the time 

I think it stands up better than its colleagues. It seems quite zany and unpredictable with the distance of time, whereas most of the other 'future jazz' stuff just sounds like wallpaper music now.

Thanks, time to revisit

One of my favourite Mosaic Selects.  It was sad when they ended the series.  I have all of them except for Freddie Slack, Sidney Bechet and Johnny Mercer.  

Jackie McLean always was one of my very very special favourites, I would say I´m almost an addict of HIS alto sound. 
And I´m so glad I could see him live many times. 

One of my early mentors (not necessarly for active playing but for gettin´ broader musical knowledge) was Austrian Avantgarde-Jazz Pioneer Fritz Novotny (Reform Art Unit !!!) and when I told him how much I like Jackie McLean he was so glad, took me to his place and borrowed me all that stuff: It was three records: "One Step Beyond", "Let´s Freedom Ring" and "Old and New Gospel" (with Ornette on tp). First I had them on cassette and played them over and over again, and later I bought them. 
I´m no completist, but those three albums I have !
