Jackie McLean
Jackie McLean
New York, USjazz, children's
646.5m all-time streams (6 Feb '26)
Jackie McLean has long had his own sound, played slightly sharp and with great intensity; he is recognizable within two notes.
McLean was one of the few bop-oriented players of the early '50s who explored free jazz in the '60s, widening his emotional range and drawing from the new music qualities that fit his musical personality.
