Jackie McLean (1931 - 2006) was an American jazz musician and saxophonist.
He is one of the pioneers of the hard bop and worked with jazz greats like Miles Davis, Gil Evans, Sonny Rollins, Charles Mingus and Ornette Coleman. Its voluminous sound that stood out from the typical for that time of the tone alto saxophone, and his expressive, blue colored game and a slightly edgy phrasing were his artistic trademark.
