Watch Out (René McLean album)


Watch Out is the debut album by saxophonist René McLean recorded in 1975 and released on the SteepleChase label.

Reception

reviewer Scott Yanow stated "The son of Jackie McLean, Rene did not yet have a distinctive voice, but he showed much potential for the future. His sextet hints at the innovations of the avant-garde while remaining closer to the style of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. It's a worthwhile if not overly memorable effort".
