Yeh, Jackie always sounds great. He's a under sung hero nowadays, shame that younger generation doesn't pay him more respect.

[@lonhillyer]

Same thing with Charles McPherson, except, he's still alive and kickin'.

@@lonhillyer You and Charles both played with Charles Mingus!

[@munyansebastien7127]

@@arcajazz I believe it was his father. But don't forget Jackie also played with Mingus!

[@luiszuluaga6575]

I have always loved the way Walter Davis smiles when he plays

[@rickgraham786]

No one like Jackie! Incredible unique tone that identifies him at once!

Whoa...

My all time favourite alto players, based on the innovation and tones created with that instrument: Parker, Adderley, Woods, McLean and Garrett.

[@iamuniversex5179]

Greatest Alto after Charlie Parker!

[@paulturnet4572]

.....he actually filled in for Charlie Parker once when CP was late for a show/performance, CP finally shows up and tells JM something to the effect of "ok young man, you can go and sit down now " in the interview JM said that he felt a bit slighted.

Amazing to hear Jackie McClean play his own tune ( compared with the more famous version by Miles with Coltrane) - also check out my harmonica version on ‘Free at First’ Sunnyside Records

During most of Walter Davis's solo, the camera focuses on the bass.

[@luiszuluaga6575]

Right?!? 🤓

[@hremdldw]

Jackie , Walter Davis Jr if you know Jackie sound the tune sounds just like Jackie Mc ! Minor key opus , Miles and Coltrane played it on the Columbia Round About Midnight LP . Hip composition

Alto and piano in profound swing esthetic, sustained until drum solo, which blended less.
