Sonny Rollins remembers Jackie McLean, then from the 1988 Mt. Fuji Jazz Festival, Jackie McLean and Sadao Watanabe play Dexterity with Mulgrew Miller on piano; Bob Hurst on bass and Kenny Washington on drums. Jackie McLean (1931–2006) was an influential American alto saxophonist and composer, known for his contributions to the hard bop and post-bop jazz movements. He had a sharp, distinctive tone and an adventurous, cutting-edge approach to improvisation. McLean started his career in the early 1950s, playing with iconic figures such as Miles Davis, Charles Mingus, and Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers. He gained a reputation for blending traditional bebop with the emerging sounds of hard bop and later pushed into more avant-garde territory. Throughout the 1960s, McLean was a key artist on the Blue Note label, where he recorded several landmark albums, including *"Let Freedom Ring" (1962)* and **"One Step Beyond" (1963)**. His music from this era reflected a strong sense of social consciousness, resonating with the Civil Rights Movement and African American cultural expression. McLean was also an educator and activist. In the late 1960s, he joined the faculty of the University of Hartford and founded the university’s African American Music Department and the Hartt School's jazz studies program. His commitment to music education had a lasting impact on future generations of jazz musicians. Jackie McLean's legacy is that of a bold, innovative musician who constantly pushed the boundaries of jazz while staying rooted in its rich traditions. His sound continues to inspire contemporary jazz musicians today. #jackiemclean #sonnyrollins #mtfujijazzfestival #bluenote
