Jackie McLean - It's Time (Blue Note Tone Poet Series) AEC Music foreword from Carl Palmer andLimited 180gm vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket. This impassioned 1964 quintet session weaves post bop and free jazz into spirited original compositions by Jackie McLean and young trumpet sensation Charles Tolliver. They were joined by Herbie Hancock (piano), Cecil McBee (bass) and Roy Haynes (drums).
