'Derek Ansell's exuberant new biography ... And a powerful read it is too', Morning Star. 'Ansell is an expert on post-bop American jazz ... and this study of McLean is ... packed with a keen and enthusiastic listener's insights into the recorded work... it also provides a wealth of detail on McLean's life and beliefs... McLean never completed his autobiography, but this respectful, perceptive study goes some way towards compensating his many admirers for this loss.' London Jazz. 'a must-read for jazz fans ... Ansell's ... encyclopaedic knowledge of the world of jazz helps add luscious colour and exhaustive context to an already remarkable tale.' Newbury Weekly News.
