Jazz critic Kevin Whitehead reviews It's Time, a new reissue of a classic '60s jazz album from the late alto saxophonist Jackie McLean.
Jazz alto saxophonist Jackie McLean passed away in March. McLean was a disciple of Charlie Parker and a leading hardbop saxophonist in the '50s.
In the '60s, McLean was a mainstay of the Blue Note label, where he liberalized his concept, even recording with Ornette Coleman. In later years his bands often included his former students at the University of Hartford, where he'd taught for decades. Our jazz critic reviews a reissue of one of McLean's '60s classics, It's Time.

Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
