AllMusic Review by Bob Rusch
Here was Bill Hardman, who he introduced into a quintet with Mal Waldron (piano), Paul Chambers(bass) and Philly Joe Jones (drums). Hardman's hot breaking tone sounds a bit less forceful than on his (soon-to-be) later work with The Messengers, but it was already identifiable...Chambers has some exciting bowed spots, Mal Waldron was a bit bland and while Jones' drumming fills the role, it missed the push Art Taylor's drumming seemed to invite so often with McLean.
Jackie's Pal is a studio album by saxophonist Jackie McLean and his quintet, his third effort for Prestige Records. It was recorded in 1956 and originally released as PRLP 7068. In 1963, like the previous 4, 5 and 6, the album was reissued on the Prestige sub-label New Jazz Records, as NJ 8290, with a different cover and retitled Steeplechase. It was also reissued on CD in 1991.[3]
