The last of the Jackie McLean Prestige sessions, this CD reissue has material
from two different sets, but fortunately, the music is on a higher level than
one might expect of leftovers. Strange Blues is from a marathon quartet set that
McLean had with pianist Mal Waldron, bassist Arthur Phipps and drummer Art
Taylor as is a rendition of Whats New that is an alternate version to the one
included on Makin the Changes. In addition, Disciples Love Affair and Millies
Pad match McLean with the tuba of Ray Draper (who contributed both songs),
trumpeter Webster Young, pianist John Meyers, bassist Bill Salter and drummer
Larry Ritchie, while the incomplete Not So Strange Blues is all McLean on an
explosive blues with the rhythm section. A generally strong set chiefly
recommended to Jackie McLean completists.~Scott Yanow
