Review

JazzTimes (6/00, pp.102-4) - "...Documents [the] alto saxophonist inching towards the groundbreaking music of ONE STEP BEYOND, recorded 2 months later....[with] a formula of smartly constructed hard bop and blues..."

Title Note

Personnel: Jackie McLean (alto saxophone); Donald Byrd, Kenny Dorham (trumpet); Sonny Clark, Herbie Hancock (piano); Butch Warren (bass); Billy Higgins, Tony Williams (drums).

Producer: Alfred Lion.

Reissue producer: Michael Cuscuna.

Recorded at the Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey on June 14, 1962 and February 11, 1963. Originally released on Blue Note (1085, 80118). Includes liner notes by Ben Sidran and Michael Cuscuna.

Digitally remastered using 24-bit technology by Ron McMaster.

This is part of the Blue Note's Limited Edition Connoisseur series.

Blue Note provides not one but two outstanding sessions with this reissue of Jackie McLean's stellar VERTIGO. The first five tracks constitute a session from 1963 that featured veterans McLean, Donald Byrd, and Butch Warren with the new recruits Herbie Hancock and Tony Williams. Williams, who, astoundingly, was in his mid-teens at the time, makes his recording debut here, just a couple of months before joining Miles Davis' group for which he would become legendary. The second half is from a session the year before with Kenny Dorham in place of Byrd and Sonny Clark and Billy Higgins filling in the rhythm section.

With these two separate sessions, the listener is able to distinctly hear the contrasts between the hard-bop standard that had sustained McLean in the late '50s and the "New Thing" that would dominate the '60s. The straight-ahead swing that characterizes the '62 session is much more streamlined and crisp, while the influence of youngsters Hancock and Williams in '63 brings McLean closer toward the freer style that he would employ on the coming ONE STEP BEYOND and DESTINATION OUT. Highlights include the off-kilter "Dusty Foot," Hancock's bluesey "Yams," and the blistering "The Three Minors."
