jackie MAC!!! the warmest cat. saw him in l.a. and in europe. his band swung hard with soul. made you dance and you could feel it in your heart. talking with him, a real genuine, nice person. and a great musician, composer. his work with the community in hartford is legendary.
In this excerpt from a wonderful interview,Jackie shows his humanity,humility and great insight. A beautiful man and musician whom we miss very much. Those of us around the world who love and appreciate this beautiful music thank our lucky stars for Jackie's legacy of brilliant recordings,and his spirit remains very much with us.
Thank you so much for this. I love Jackie for his incredible music and for the beautiful person he was. He will live forever but will always be sorely missed.
i'll tell you, though.....Bird subbed out his gigs to this man. If you respect Bird, then you respect his musical decisions. i urge anyone who hears this to check out Jackie McLean's music. it's as powerful as anything you'll hear.

Jackie McLean was a wonderful man as well as being one of the top 5 altoists.
So humble and so approachable.
We will continue to miss him.

Rene McLean is my professor, and he is as excellent a saxophonist as you'll find on this Earth.
@bunnystewart... That tune is called Esoteric, by Grachan Moncur, from the Destination Out! record.
There is Bird....and there is Jackie....the two greatest alto players of all time
I'm sure the rest of this Fresh Air interview is available on the NPR website
Jackie's son Rene McClean is or was also a fine tenor saxophonist.
