- Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Jackie McLean

Capuchin Swing

April 17, 1960

Hard Bop

While the altoist's future fascination with Ornette Coleman's free-form innovations can be sensed in some solos here, the majority of this set is classic hard bop. Like contemporaries Hank Mobley, Sonny Clark, and Lee Morgan, JM doesn't simply churn out pat jam-session fare but offers provocative charts and solos in a series of mid-to fast-tempo swingers and blues.
