Jackie McLean is a Professor of Music in Hartford, Connecticut, but he is still a world-class player who tours annually in Europe and Japan. This album, representing two different bands from two separate 1957 sessions, was done a few years before Jackie appeared as both actor and player in The Connection, but "A Long Drink of the Blues", in two takes, has both dialogue (spontaneous) and blowing by McLean (on tenor sax as well as his more familiar alto), trombonist Curtis Fuller, and two legendary figures, trumpeter Webster Young and Brooklyn pianist Gil Coggins. The rest of the date, in contrast, finds Jackie (solely on alto) with pianist Mal Waldron, exploring three standard ballads in a highly subjective manner.
This CD reissue begins with what is titled "Take 1" of "A Long Drink of the Blues." After a false start, the musicians argue for two minutes about the tempo; why was this ever released? "Take 2" is a much more successful 20-minute jam featuring Jackie McLean (doubling on alto and tenor), trombonist Curtis Fuller, trumpeter Webster Young, pianist Gil Coggins, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Louis Hayes. The second half of this reissue is from a quartet session that showcases McLean on three standard ballads with pianist Mal Waldron, bassist Arthur Phipps, and drummer Art Taylor. Although not quite as intense as McLean's later Blue Note dates, the ballad renditions show just how mature and original a soloist he was even at this early stage. Despite "Take 1," this CD is worth getting.
