"Consequence" is a remarkable jazz album by the legendary alto saxophonist Jackie McLean, now available in CD format from the respected label Um. Originally recorded in 1965 but not released until decades later, "Consequence" captures McLean at a creative peak, blending hard bop with adventurous post-bop elements. The album features an all-star lineup including Lee Morgan on trumpet and Harold Mabern on piano, delivering energetic performances across tracks like "Bluesanova" and "Slumber." This release is essential for any serious jazz collection, showcasing both technical mastery and emotional depth. The manufacturer Um is known for its dedication to high-quality reissues of classic jazz recordings, ensuring audiophiles receive pristine sound and authentic packaging.
This album was recorded in 1965 but not releases until 1979. The music on this cd is much more straight-ahead than other mcLean dates from this period. Nevertheless, "consequence" is still worth investing.
