Alto saxophonist Jackie McLean was among the most open-minded musicians of his generation and was experimenting with free playing as early as 1962. This unusual March 24, 1967 session added guest artist Ornette Coleman (playing only trumpet) to McLean's regular quartet. The material ranges from McLean's powerful four-part suite "Lifeline" to Ornette's funky, rocking "Old Gospel". The music sounds as fresh as if it were recorded yesterday.
