New and Old Gospel

A fascinating and powerful album that brings together two giants of the alto saxophone, Jackie McLean and Ornette Coleman, with Coleman featured exclusively on trumpet. The music is a thrilling, blues-drenched excursion that connects the avant-garde directly to its deep gospel and blues traditions. The raw, freewheeling interplay between these two pioneers creates a pivotal performance that is both a look back at the music's roots and a celebration of the freedom they had both championed.
