4, 5 And 6 is the 1956 album by Jackie McLean. Originally released by Prestige Records. this CD was released by Fantasy Jazz on 13 March, 2001 (almost six months before 9/11) and was remastered by Shigeo Miyamoto under supervision of Tamaki Beck, utilizing the 20bit K2 Super Coding system. Only 10,000 copies of this were pressed.
In this review, we're going to focus on an individual album called 4, 5 and 6, featuring alto saxman Jackie McLean and his group. McLean was very active in the jazz world during the bebop and post-bop period, although he's not as well known today as some of the others from the era. He had a distinctive style that was intense, bold and occasionally a little reedy, and on this album (originally recorded in 1956) he was a young man in full instrumental voice.

There's little doubt that he was the leader of the group and is the main soloist on every tune, but there is room for some quality work by his sidemen, including Donald Byrd on trumpet, pianist Mal Waldron, drummer Art Taylor and bassist Doug Watkins. The group is also occasionally joined by Hank Mobley on tenor sax, most notably on the group's interpretation of Charlie Parker's "Confirmation," which also features strong work by Byrd.

The album is a good mix of modern bebop and traditional ballads played with a bop edge, including familiar tunes such as "When I Fall In Love" and "Sentimental Journey," both of which start straight-ahead but soon give way to some inspired improvisations. If your idea of the latter tune is that version made famous by Les Brown and Doris Day, then you're in for a treat. (Not that there's anything wrong with Les or Doris.) I also enjoyed "Abstraction," a ballad written by pianist Waldron that really showcases McLean's softer sound.

Actually, I liked every cut on the album, and have no hesitation in giving it a strong recommendation, even if you're not particularly a fan of bebop (which I'm not) because this is good stuff. Get it - you won't be sorry.
