| A Fickle Sonance |
| Jackie McLean : Blue note |
| |
| |
| Tommy Turrentine - Trumpet |
| Jackie McLean - Alto sax. |
| Sonny Clark - Piano |
| Butch Warren - Bass |
| Billy Higgins - Drums |
| |
| ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: |
| |
| Alto saxophonist Jackie McLean was one of the few jazz |
| players to come up through bebop and incorporate free jazz |
| into his style. Even though A Fickle Sonance preceded |
| McLean's intense 1962 album Let Freedom Ring, the playing |
| remained in a swinging blues-oriented style, showing no |
| hint of the direction his music was about to take. The |
| sidemen on the date (Tommy Turrentine [trumpet], Sonny |
| Clark [piano], and Butch Warren [bass]) prove to be an |
| invigorating combination of musicians, however not as |
| involved in the burgeoning free music as drummer Billy |
| Higgins. At the time of these sessions, Higgins had already |
| played with Ornette Coleman, providing a link to the |
| avant-garde, but nevertheless his playing follows the hard |
| bop pace of the others. McLean provides two original |
| compositions, "Subdued" and the title track, while Clark, |
| Turrentine, and Warren fill the remaining tracks. |

| ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: |
| |
| The Blue Note label is to be thrice-blessed by |
| Whatever/Whomever for making much of its 1960s catalog |
| available again. This one here, A FICKLE SONANCE by Jackie |
| McLean from 1961, is notable for a few reasons. Not least |
| of which is 90% of what McLean did for BN in the 60s is |
| superior to 70% of jazz albums released in the past, oh |
| let's say, of the past couple of years. McLean's tone is |
| rich, sinewy and very, very bright-almost incandescent. |
| (The blues-tinged ballad "Subdued.") |
| The band for this date is something else: the |
| not-exactly-over-recorded Tommy Turrentine on trumpet and |
| BN rhythm standbys Sonny Clark, Butch Warren and Billy |
| Higgins. Turrentine has the "BN sound," crisp and |
| crackling, yet he sounds not like BN mainstay Donald Byrd |
| (well, maybe a little)-a little more like Kenny Dorham, I |
| say. Clark was not only a fine hard-bop pianist in the B. |
| Powell mode but a dandy composer as well: witness the |
| bright, engaging and George Russell-ish opener "Five Will |
| Get You Ten." Warren is a rock and Higgins is, as always, |
| fleet, inspired and inspiring. |
| |
| AFS is one of those transitional sets-it's fairly |
| straight-ahead hard bop, a little on the easygoing side, |
| then ZAP! They hit you with some advance droplets from the |
| New Jazz storm on the horizon. This music, to my somewhat |
| cranky & jaded ears, still sounds fresh in 2001, and THAT's |
| the acid test. Finally, there is the cover: a nice Francis |
| Wolff photo of Jackie McLean's hat. I think I saw Dick Van |
| Dyke wear a similar hat on his classic 60s sitcom. |

| |
| One of Jackie McLean's most swinging early Blue Notes, this |
| is a set of great originals by band members McLean, Tommy |
| Turrentine, Sonny Clark and Butch Warren. Billy Higgins |
| lights the fire for the whole proceedings. |
