Title: well done jazz
Product review: Jackie's playing is smooth and refined, sticking with the respected theme of the pieces. he never strays too far out (as he would in later years with questionable results). he reminds me a bit of Sonny Rollins in his tone and his grasp of melody. a fine release with a few classic cuts, such as the beautiful ballad "Abstraction", and the tasteful swing of "Contour" and "Confirmation." McLean's composition and execution show him growing into a confident talent and this album ranks up there with some of Coltrane's fine Prestige recordings.
