The Source (Jackie McLean album)
The Source is a live album by American saxophonist Jackie McLean featuring Dexter Gordon recorded at the Jazzhus Montmartre in 1973 and released on the SteepleChase label. Critical reception. Robert Christgau wrote in his 1977 column in "The Village Voice" that he preferred "The Source" to both McLean's "The Meeting" and Gordon's 1976 "Homecoming" if he wanted to "hear recent live Dexter". AllMusic critic Scott Yanow was less enthusiastic, writing that "the music is a bit loose and long-winded ('Half Nelson' is over 18 minutes long) but recommended to straightahead jazz fans
