Music reviews of Destination Out
Music Review: Classic
Rating: 5 Stars
There is a myth in jazz accidemics that the 1960s were the avant gaurd vs the be-boppers. Read histories and you'll get the idea that was all that was happening.
What a bunch of garbage: people remember this era in jazz for the amount of amazing work going on. Free jazz, Mingus's orchestral experiments, fusion, Don Ellis' stews, and much more.
That much more includes a chamber jazz that mixed avant gaurde and traditional ideas. Eric Dolphy's Out To Lunch and this record personafy this type of music.
1963s Destination Out has four pieces: these work around McClean's minimalistic alto sax playing, Bobby Hutcherson's vibes, Grechen Moncur's trombone, Roy Haynes on drums and Larry Ridley on bass.
These numbers range from slow blues essays with a lot of subtitutions to compositions like "Esoteric." Every track is outstanding, but let me take "Esoteric" to explain why Destiantion Out is so essential to any music lover. It is not, like Albert Ayler or Cecil Taylor at this time, that the players work outside the tonal centers. There are firmly laid chords in this music, and the musicians stay "inside" these changes.
But there is huge ammounts of couterpoint in this music: two notes a half tone apart create the framework of "Esoteric." The dissonence is not from the notes going against each other or the soloist going against the base note. It is that the notes are lined up in ways we usually don't hear, and these create tension. The tension is not in the soloing, but in the way the music is composed.
All this is accidemic and I appologize for boring you with this. You really have to hear Destination Out! Once you do, you will forget all the unimportant technical aspects of this music and be swept by its increadible emotional power. I first heard "Esoteric" eight years ago and it is as powerful now as the day when I was uncontrolably compelled to buy this record. I cannot do this record justice and cannot recommened it highly enough.
An aside: if jazz historians think Impulse! was the cutting edge labal and Blue Note was the kinder and gentler counterpart, professor, go back and hear this masterpiece again.
I don't know if McCLean and crew ever got out to their destination, but Destination Out is a trip we ALL need to take.
