Jackie McLean's music was closely intertwined with avant-garde styles in the 1960s – with the brilliant albums “One Step Beyond” and “Destination... Out!” from 1963 – before moving on to free jazz with “New And Old Gospel” (with Ornette Coleman on trumpet) and “'Bout Soul” from 1967. “Destination... Out!” showcases Jackie McLean's innovative hard bop, which was still evolving and just beginning to take on a harder edge. Inspired by Ornette Coleman and John Coltrane, the alto saxophonist gradually ventured into the avant-garde realm, but with his own signature style: he never completely abandoned the foundation of soulful swing and chordal structures. This led to the unusually cast quintet session with vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson and trombonist Grachan Moncur III, Larry Ridley on bass and Roy Hayes on drums. The result of this session is definitely a masterpiece of inside-out jazz.
As part of the extremely popular “Blue Note 85th Anniversary Reissue Series”, Universal Music Japan presents the sonically impressive remastering of this jazz classic by the legendary Kevin Gray, who is also responsible for the analog reissues of Blue Note US such as “Tone Poet” and “Classic Vinyl” – as a limited-edition Japan only UHQCD with OBI Stripe. The recording session for “Destination… Out!” took place on September 20, 1963 at the Rudy Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey.
