Jackie McLean on Mars

An interesting documentary about Jackie McLean made in 1980. It's a classic documentary setup mainly featuring McLean himself talking about his life, career and personal view on things with various footage on show. Also features some of his lectures that he gave in college.

They also discuss Sun Ra during one of the lectures. One dude says uncomfortably "it's kinda far out" after McLean asks them if they did listen to some of Sun Ra records. I thought that was hilarious and it's also really cool to hear that McLean admired Sun Ra.

Anyway, I talked about McLean before so here are some links: 4, 5 and 6 and Jacknife so check these out if you're interested in how he sounds on record. Both albums are really great.
