The Minsky Moment

Jackie McLean - Let Freedom Ring (1962) and Destination . . . Out! (1963)

McLean was the leading alto saxophone player after Charlie Parker's death up until Ornette Coleman's emergence around 1959/60.  McLean could have reacted resentfully and retreated into his hard bop style.  Instead he started incorporating aspects of Coleman's free style quite explicitly in his own work as these album titles indicate (complete with Ornette-style ending exclamation mark in Destination Out).  In the first he even employed Coleman's occasional drummer Billy Higgins.  In the second, Bobby Hutcherson joins in, just prior to his "Out to Lunch" session with Eric Dolphy.  Destination Out in particular is a perfect ensemble effort - McLean is the clear leader of the session, trombonist Grachan Moncur III contributed 3 of the 4 compositions, Hutcherson takes effective responsibility for the time, freeing up drummer Roy Haynes.  These albums capture the experimental spirit of the "free" players, but are more approachable and easier to listen to.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.
