The first, \u003cem\u003eNew and Old Gospel\u003c\/em\u003e, featured Ornette Coleman playing trumpet. The second, \u003cem\u003e'Bout Soul\u003c\/em\u003e, had Rashied Ali, fresh from John Coltrane's final band, on drums. \u003cem\u003eDemon's Dance\u003c\/em\u003e, cut in December, pulled back from both. McLean kept LaMont Johnson and Scotty Holt, the pianist and bassist who'd played on \u003cem\u003eNew and Old Gospel\u003c\/em\u003e, but brought in Jack DeJohnette, who'd built his reputation in Charles Lloyd's quartet, and the 22-year-old Woody Shaw, who'd already appeared on Blue Note sessions with Horace Silver and Larry Young but was still a few years from recording under his own name. The six tracks split evenly between McLean's own tunes, Shaw's writing and two compositions by Cal Massey. Massey was a Philadelphia trumpeter and composer whose pieces turned up on records by Coltrane, Archie Shepp and Lee Morgan; his \"Message From Trane,\" the album's closer, is a bright, swinging blues tribute to Coltrane, who had died five months before this session. Shaw's \"Sweet Love Of Mine\" works a bossa feel that sits unexpectedly well against the angular post-bop of everything else, and the title track opens the record at a hard charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlue Note shelved the album until October 1970, by which point the cover art worked in its favour: Mati Klarwein's painting looks like a cousin of the artwork he did for Miles Davis's \u003cem\u003eBitches Brew\u003c\/em\u003e, released the same year. Leonard Feather wrote the original liner notes and Francis Wolff produced and photographed the session. This Tone Poet reissue was mastered \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003efrom the original analogue tapes by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio, supervised by Joe Harley, and pressed at RTI on 180g vinyl. The gatefold jacket is printed by Stoughton.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blue Note","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44110652571707,"sku":null,"price":110.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/3203\/3339\/files\/jackie-mclean-demons-dance-blue-note-tone-poet-series-album-cover-3348.webp?v=1788493881","url":"https:\/\/lushliferecords.com.au\/products\/jackie-mclean-demons-dance-blue-note-tone-poet-vinyl-lp","provider":"Lush Life Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
