Jackie McLean on Mars

It’s great to rediscover this remarkable if modest documentary of Jackie McLean by Ken Levis. Levis tells this amazing musician’s story in Jackie’s own words. For those who never had the honor of knowing this man, Jackie’s commitment, intelligence, work ethic and humor shine though. This captures him during his transition from New York City to Hartford, Connecticut and from performing artist to educator.
