Description:

It was Charles Mingus who, in the mid-1950s, first tried to alter Jackie McLeanâ??s playing style, which was fully entrenched in Charlie Parkerâ??s sound at the time. â??I never really sounded like Bird, but that was my missionâ?, said McLean during a WBGO radio interview. â??I didnâ??t care if people said that I copied him; I loved Birdâ??s playing so much. But Mingus was the one that really pushed me away from the idea and forced me into thinking about having an individual sound and concept.â? McLean (born in New York on May 17, 1931; he died on March 31, 2006, at the age of 73) is featured here on his LP New Soil. Although it wasnâ??t the first session he recorded for Blue Note, it was the first one released. As the title suggests, McLeanâ??s main goal on this album was to go beyond the limits of bop.
