JACKIE McLEAN, 'BOUT SOUL (Blue Note).

Alto Saxophonist McLean and his sextet spend much of this album on the wayout side of traditional harmonic borders, yet their energetic improvisation never quite descends to pandemonium. The group's most piercingly effective exchanges between alto, trumpet, trombone and the rhythm sections take place on Conversation Point and Erdu. On a track called Soul, they lay down a blues background for Poetess Barbara Simmons as she recites her tribute to blackness.
