Jez Nelson presents a series about the remarkable albums the late jazz saxophonist Jackie McLean recorded for the Blue Note label in the 1960s. The series of classic albums that McLean recorded for Blue Note between 1959 and 1967 (including the landmark LP, Let Freedom Ring) are his crowning achievement, and chart his move from a position as a journeyman to a key creator of the modern sound of jazz.

The programme is based around a series of candid interviews Jez Nelson conducted with McLean over the last few years, and also includes specially-recorded contributions from other well-known musicians associated with McLean, including vibraphone legend Bobby Hutcherson.
