Rachael Cohen is one the most sought-after players on the London Jazz scene. She presents the thrilling frontline spectacle of Lee Morgan and Jackie McLean in this special show.
"Jackie and Lee: a Hardbop Dynamic Duo" features the mid-1960s Blue Note recordings of alto saxophonist Jackie McLean and trumpeter Lee Morgan. Both veterans of Art Blakey‘s Jazz Messengers, McLean and Morgan joined in the studio on several occasions to produce some of the most searing hardbop records Blue Note ever put out. Their trenchant, biting attack, an ability to convey a kind of street lyricism, and a sardonic humour in Morgan‘s approach coupled with an edgy pathos in McLean‘s led jazz writer David Rosenthal to call them "a frontline match made in hardbop heaven."
