Claude McLin His Sax & Combo - Jacquelyn album flac

Who Was Claude McLin?," Dutch saxophonist Luc Houtkamp asked as a musical question on his 1997 trio recording for Entropy. To wind up with an avant-garde composition named after him, let alone questioning his basic identity, might have been something this artist would have found highly amusing. Someone who saw him on-stage at a distance might have assumed he was Lester Young, since he played the same horn - the tenor sax - and held it an angle just like Young did. McLin might not have minded this assumption at all, as Young.

Claude McLin (born December 27, 1925 in Chicago - died July 21, 1995 in Los Angeles) was a jazz tenor saxophonist. A graduate of DuSable High School, he was in a "baby band" with Johnny Griffin and Wilbur Campbell in the spring of 1944. Returning from military service in 1946, he led a series of combos in Chicago. He often played the Pershing Ballroom in a battle-of-the-saxes format. In 1952 McLin, who was having trouble finding enough engagements in Chicago to support his family, moved to Los Angeles, where for a decade his combos found steady work. He appeared on an Amos Milburn session for Aladdin Records in 1954, with Red Callender on bass. In 1958 he recorded two singles for Golden Tone with the organ trio lineup that was then coming into fashion, and two blues for Dootsie Williams' Dootone label in 1958. In 1960, he recorded a single for his own Mac-Jac label.
