Jackie McLean Jackie's Pal on 200g Mono LP Analogue Productions' Prestige Mono Series Mastered by Kevin Gray from the Original Mono Master Tapes In the case of this 1956 Prestige release, Jackie's Pal is none other than trumpeter Bill Hardman who McLean champions justifiably here after the pair left the Charles Mingus workshop and before they both joined Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. The excellent date finds the jazz greats in a quintet rounded out by Mal Walldron (piano), Paul Chambers (bass) and Philly Joe Jones (drums). Cut from the analogue masters by renowned mastering engineer Kevin Gray. 200-gram pressing by Quality Record Pressings and plated by Gary Salstrom has a flat edge profile and deep groove label, true to the original LP. Housed in a deluxe high-gloss tip-on album jacket. Musicians: - Jackie McLean (alto saxophone) - Mal Waldron (piano) - Paul Chambers (bass) - Philly Joe Jones (drums) - Bill Hardman (trumpet)
