Our Take

Jackie McLean ain't playing games on Let Freedom Ring, folks. This album is like a musical punch in the gut, knocking you off your feet with its raw energy and electrifying performances. From the moment McLean's horn hits your ears, you know you're in for a wild ride.

The title track kicks things off with a bang, McLean's saxophone wailing and moaning like a wounded animal. The rhythm section is tight as a drum, keeping everything moving at breakneck speed. It's a thrilling opener that sets the tone for the rest of the album.

Tracks like "Melody for Melonae" showcase McLean's incredible improvisational skills, as he weaves in and out of the melody with effortless grace. His bandmates follow suit, creating a mesmerising tapestry of sound that is a joy to listen to.

But it's not all high energy on Let Freedom Ring. Tracks like "I'll Keep Loving You" slow things down, giving listeners a chance to catch their breath before diving back into the madness. The ballads are just as captivating as the faster numbers, showcasing McLean's versatility as a musician.

Overall, Let Freedom Ring is a triumph. Jackie McLean has crafted a masterpiece that is as intelligent as it is exhilarating. Do yourself a favour and give it a listen. You won't regret it.
