Our Take

Album: JACKIE MCLEAN - Action

Rating: 8.6/10

Who needs coffee in the morning when you can just blast JACKIE MCLEAN's latest album, "Action"? This jazz legend is back with a bang, bringing his signature soulful saxophone playing to the forefront once again.

From the opening track, "Funky Monkey," you're immediately transported to a smoky underground jazz club where the music is loud, the drinks are flowing, and the good times never end. McLean's improvisational skills are on full display here, weaving in and out of complex chord progressions with ease.

The album really kicks into high gear with the funky grooves of "Jazzercise," a track that will have you tapping your toes and nodding your head along in no time. McLean's band is on fire throughout, with tight drumming, groovy bass lines, and melodic piano solos that will leave you grinning from ear to ear.

But it's not all just fun and games - tracks like "Reflective Blues" showcase a more reflective side of McLean's playing, with haunting melodies and emotional solos that will leave you feeling like you've just experienced something truly special.

Overall, "Action" is a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast, with its infectious energy, masterful musicianship, and undeniable charm. JACKIE MCLEAN is back, and he's proving once again why he's one of the greats.

McLean's music is a unique blend of traditional jazz with a modern twist. His innovative approach to improvisation and his fearless exploration of new sounds have earned him a reputation as a true innovator in the world of jazz.
