Jackie McLean Biography and Discography

 

 

 

 

 

 

Alto saxophonist Jackie McLean was born May 17, 1932. His father played guitar in the Tiny Bradshaw band. As a teenager McLean knew Bud PoWell, Thelonious Monk and Sonny Rollins. He made his recording debut with Miles Davis in 1951 and further played with Charles Mingus, Art Blakey, and George Wallington. McLean recorded 21 albums for Blue Note from 1959-67. In the 1970s he entered music education and only recorded occasionally. McLean entered the UK pop charts in the late '70s with the disco track "Dr. Jackyll And Mister Funk." In the 1980s McLean returned to music more frequently, sometimes with his son Rene McLean on tenor. His 1990s recordings achieved a quality comparable to his 1960s classics.
