About
Let Freedom Ring is an album by American jazz saxophonist Jackie McLean, recorded in 1962 and released on the Blue Note label. It features McLean in a quartet with pianist Walter Davis Jr., bassist Herbie Lewis and drummer Billy Higgin. McLean wrote three of the four composition. "Melody for Melonae" is dedicated to his daughter (as was an earlier composition, "Little Melonae"), and appeared as "Melanie" on Matador, a later recording that he made with Kenny Dorham. The slower-tempo performance on Let Freedom Ring was the first occasion that McLean used "provocative upper-register screams". "Rene" and "Omega" are both blues-related piece, the former with a standard twelve-bar structure and harmonie, the latter more abstract and modal. The one non-McLean track is Bud Powell's ballad, "I'll Keep Loving You". Personnel Jackie McLean — alto saxophone Walter Davi, Jr. — piano Herbie Lewis — bass .
