Yet McLean was beginning to find ways out of the seductive artistic security of Bird imitations. For one thing, he was experimenting with tonal variations. For another, he was working with Charles Mingus, and Mingus’s genius as a leader included forcing musicians to look deeply into their most cherished stylistic practices. The McLean of \u003cem\u003eLights Out\u003c\/em\u003e is the hot young bebopper with a slightly acid edge to his sound and a solid blues foundation under everything he played. McLean and trumpeter Donald Byrd occasionally engage in the \"pecking\" technique of mutual improvisation they developed as members of the George Wallington Quintet.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOriginally released in 1957\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Jackie McLean, alto saxophone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eDoug Watkins, bass\u003cbr\u003eArt Taylor, drums\u003cbr\u003eDonald Byrd, trumpet\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eElmo Hope, piano\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Acoustic Sounds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56666497122636,"sku":"753088703515","price":8.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/2913\/4412\/files\/6apsap7035-large__21844.1620277568.jpg?v=1770373011","url":"https:\/\/vinylpulses.com\/products\/jackie-mclean-lights-out-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
