Inspired by Ornette Coleman, alto saxophonist Jackie McLean ventured into the realm of the avant-garde on his own terms, never abandoning his soulful sense of swing and structure. With his 1963 album 'One Step Beyond' he forged a distinctive inside-out sound with a unique quintet featuring Grachan Moncur III, Bobby Hutcherson, Eddie Kahn, and Tony Williams. This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is stereo, all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
