Jackie McLean was perhaps the most talented Charlie Parker follower. He followed him since from his teen years (around those years Parker was very much the most popular guy in jazz) and sometimes he was even placed to play at Parkers concerts until Parker arrives.
Aside from being a very good Parker apprentice he devised a style and sound of his own. 4, 5 and 6 is probably my favorite album of his. The opening track is probably the best. A 10 minute work based on Sentimental Journey is a reason good enough to get this but other tunes on this record are exceptional as well. I can't really say anything more. It's bebop and it's good.
