One of Jackie McLean's last "new thing" albums for Blue Note -- and a very
unique record that features Ornette Coleman on trumpet! The sound here is stark
and hard -- slight hints of the soulfulness that the "gospel" in the title might
imply, mixed with the angular exploratory sound that McLean had been forging at
Blue Note during the mid 60s. The album's easily one of the most "out" that
McLean ever recorded, and the group also includes Lamont Johnson, Scott Holt and
Billy Higgins. Tracks include the extended "Lifeline" suite, which takes up all
of side one -- plus "Old Gospel" and "Strange As It Seems".
