Demons Dance was Jackie McLeans final album for Blue Note, closing out an
amazing streak of creativity thats among the more underappreciated in jazz
history. The record retreats a bit from McLeans nearly free playing on New and
Old Gospel and Bout Soul, instead concentrating on angular, modal avant bop with
more structured chord progressions. The whole session actually swings pretty
hard, thanks to drummer Jack DeJohnette, who manages that feat while maintaining
the busy, kinetic style McLean had favored since Tony Williams appearance on One
Step Beyond. Pianist Lamont Johnson and bassist Scott Holt both return from New
and Old Gospel, and trumpeter Woody Shaw is in especially fiery, muscular form,
rivaling the leader in terms of soloing impact and contributing two of the six
compositions. McLeans originals tend to be the most intriguing, though; theres
the angular title track, the bright, uptempo Floogeh, and the spacious ballad
Toyland, a warm, soft piece anchored by Johnson that runs counter to typical
descriptions of the impressions McLeans tone creates. While Demons Dance didnt
quite push McLeans sound the way its two predecessors had, there was no sign
that the altoist was beginning to run out of creative steam. Unfortunately, Blue
Notes ownership changed and its resulting commercial direction meant the end of
McLeans tenure with the label, and ultimately the prime of his career; he would
resume recording five years later, often with rewarding results, but
nonetheless, Demons Dance marks the end of an era.~Steve Huey
