Tracks list

One of Jackie McLeans earliest Blue Notes, Swing, Swang, Swingin parts company
with the vast majority of his output for the label by concentrating chiefly on
standards (only one of the seven tunes is a McLean original). Perhaps as a
result of Blue Notes more prepared, professional approach to recording sessions,
McLean sounds invigorated here, catapulting each melody forward before launching
into a series of impassioned improvisations. Not that every track is a
mind-blowing meltdown -- McLeans playing always fits the mood of the song -- but
his total commitment to the material is evident throughout the album. Hes also
very much the focal point of the quartet, which includes pianist Walter Bishop,
bassist Jimmy Garrison, and drummer Art Taylor. McLeans unique, cutting tone --
always threatening to go ever so slightly out of tune -- lends a particular
urgency to his melody statements and extended notes, highlighted by an intense
and swinging version of Cole Porters I Love You and an exuberant take on Irving
Berlins Lets Face the Music and Dance. Though Bishop and Taylor are less
well-known than their compatriots, they offer active support that helps push
McLean even more. Swing, Swang, Swingin may not be as groundbreaking as McLeans
more modernist work, but its a solid session from an artist just beginning an
incredible hot streak.
