Our Take

Ah, JACKIE MCLEAN's *Swing. Swang. Swingin.* is a truly swinging affair that would make even the stiffest upper lip start tapping their toes. This album is like a pint of lager on a hot summer's day - refreshing, satisfying, and leaves you wanting more.

From the opening track, "What's New?," it's clear that McLean and his band are here to party. The horn section blares, the drums kick, and the bass thumps in all the right places. You can almost smell the smoke-filled jazz club and feel the sweat dripping down your back as you dance along.

McLean's saxophone playing is nothing short of masterful. He weaves in and out of the melody with ease, effortlessly gliding from soulful ballads to upbeat boppers. His solos are like a rollercoaster ride - unpredictable, thrilling, and always leaving you wanting more.

Tracks like "Isle of Java" and "Subdued" showcase McLean's versatility as a musician. He can go from smooth and sultry to bold and brash in the blink of an eye, keeping the listener on their toes and engaged throughout.

In conclusion, *Swing. Swang. Swingin.* is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado looking to add some swing to their step. JACKIE MCLEAN and his band have truly outdone themselves with this album, reminding us all why jazz will always be the coolest genre around. So pour yourself a drink, sit back, and let the music take you on a wild, swinging ride. Cheers!

About the artist

Jackie McLean

Ah, Jackie McLean. The man, the myth, the saxophone virtuoso. With a career spanning over five decades, McLean has cemented his legacy as one of the most influential jazz musicians of all time. Born in New York City in 1931, McLean's love affair with music began at a young age. His early years were spent honing his craft alongside jazz legends like Charlie Parker and Thelonious Monk, who recognized his raw talent and took him under their wing. 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. But McLean is not just a master of the saxophone - he's also a prolific composer and bandleader. His albums, such as "Let Freedom Ring" and "Destination Out!", are considered classics of the genre and have stood the test of time. Despite his immense talent and critical acclaim, McLean remains a humble and down-to-earth artist. His love for music is infectious, and his passion for pushing the boundaries of jazz knows no bounds. So, if you're looking for a truly unforgettable listening experience, look no further than Jackie McLean. With his soulful melodies, daring improvisation, and infectious energy, he's guaranteed to leave you wanting more. Trust us, you don't want to miss out on this jazz legend.
