Jackie McLeanās 1962 albumĀ Let Freedom RingĀ reflected the change in the air of the early ā60s: both the musical freedoms being explored by the emergent avant-garde movement and the social freedoms sought by the ascendent civil rights movement. This four-song set featuring the alto saxophonist withĀ Walter Davis Jr.Ā on piano,Ā Herbie LewisĀ on bass, andĀ Billy HigginsĀ on drums melds the bluesy language of hard bop with the bristling energy of The New Thing. McLeanās emotive horn wails, shrieks, and soothes as the quartet moves through three striking McLean originals: āMelody For Melonaeā (dedicated to his daughter), āReneā (dedicated to his son), and āOmegaā (dedicated to his mother). A plaintive rendition of the Bud Powell ballad āIāll Keep Loving Youā rounds out the date.Ā
