Jackie McLean - Let Freedom Ring (Tone Poet Series) Artist_NAS All songs are written andJackie McLeans 1962 album Let Freedom Ring reflected the change in the air of the early 60s: 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 with Walter Davis Jr. on piano, Herbie Lewis on bass, and Billy Higgins on drums melds the bluesy language of hard bop with the bristling energy of The New Thing.
