Jacknife Blue Note Tone Poet Series edition

Jackie McLean's evocative 1965 album Jacknife captured the alto saxophonist in an envelope-pushing post-bop mode. The session featured two trumpeters - Lee Morgan and Charles Tolliver - who are heard together to great effect on Morgan's groovy "Soft Blue," but otherwise take turns in the spotlight. McLean also assembled a deeply engaged rhythm section for the date featuring pianist Larry Willis, bassist Larry Ridley, and drummer Jack DeJohnette. McLean's fiery sound ignites a wide range of material from the expansive modal explorations of Tolliver's "On the Nile" to the churning rhythms of DeJohnette's "Climax" to McLean's own "Blue Fable," which delivers a loping melody over shifting feels before settling into a deep pocketed swing for emphatic solos by McLean and Morgan.

Blue Note's Tone Poet Series represents the pinnacle of jazz reissues for anyone who appreciates pristine audio. Mastered by Kevin Gray (Cohearent Audio) from the original analog master tapes. Pressed on 180g audiophile vinyl at RTI and presented in deluxe tip-on jackets.
