Jackie McLean 1960 pt 1

Drummer Bob Pope and Leigh Kamman tag-team a fascinating interview with the well-spoken Jackie McLean during his 2 week gig at Freddie's jazz club in Minneapolis. At the time of this interview Jackie was currently in the Obie winning play "The Connection" in NYC - Tina Brooks was subbing for him while he played the Freddie's gig - and he tells Leigh and Bob a bit about that, as well as sharing his thoughts about other things including his influences, Ornette Coleman and and his friendship with Charlie Parker. The interview ends a little abruptly and the tape is marked #1 so if I find the second part it will be published here.

Jackie McLean 1960 pt 1 - this implies a pt 2 exists. Is that so?

Based on the typical "thank you" type endings on most of the interviews - but not on this one - it seemed that there must be a part 2. But it has not surfaced and now that I've finished digitizing all of the 7" reels n the archive like the one this was on I don't think part 2 exists. Thanks for listening.
