Jumaane Taylor Quintet, playing Jackie McLean’s 1965 compositions from “Jacknife”. Top to bottom but with a new rhythm on this 60 plus year old masterpiece. Beginning with the perfection of Charles Tolliver’s “On The Nile” then closing with Jackie’s “Blue Fable”. McLean’s compositions and playing, like Trane’s, Bird’s or Ornette Coleman’s, consistently provides its listener with those secret codes for a shape of jazz to come.
