Jackie McLean - Street Singer (1960)
Before McLean journeyed into more avant-garde explorations, he was the quintessential hard bopper. This Tina Brooks composition, which also appears on Brooks’ posthumously released LP Back To The Tracks, is the definition of small-ensemble hard bop that Blue Note helped perfect in the late 50s and early 60s. The tense yet swinging melody that Brooks achieves on this cut is almost impossible to forget.
