Jackie McLeanАльт-саксофонист, флейтист. Известен как универсальный исполнитель. Испытав сильное влияние Чарли Паркера и Кэннанбола Эддерли, выработал свой индивидуальный стиль, отразивший его интерес к современным школам джаза.Рос в семье музыкантов, его отец играл на гитаре в оркестре Тайни Брэдшоу, а соседом и другом семьи был Бад Пауэлл. В конце 40-х годов МакЛин уже играл с Телониусом Монком, Чарли Паркером, Кенни Дорэмом, Сонни Роллинзом. Бад Пауэлл рекомендовал его Майлзу Дэвису, и МакЛин год провел в ансамбле знаменитого трубача (1951-52). В 1955-56 работал с Чарльзом Мингусом, в 1956-58 в Jazz Messengers Арта Блэйки, а в 1959 собрал квинтет и стал известен, записав хиты - Jackie's Bag, Little Melonae, Hip Street. В 1959-61 выступал как актер и музыкант в спектакле The Connection. После 1967 года в основном играл на флейте, прекратил выступления в клубах и перешел в ислам, взяв себе имя Омар Ахмед Абдул Карим. ''Вначале я был далек от религии, - сказал он, - громкая музыка сделала меня глухим и слепым''. В начале 70-х годов читал лекции в колледже в Хартфорде (шт. Коннектикут) и возглавил Афро-американский институт музыки. Только в 1975 году собрал новую группу.
