Please Note:
There is a very rare, unusual, anomaly on the label of this recording. The label on side 1, has the New York, USA address,
The Label on side 2 has the 47 West 63rd Street address.
Could be a hybrid, first and second pressing, or just a mis-matched label. Either way the sound quality is the usual excellence of Blue Note original Mono recordings and a very hard to find LP.

One of the cleanest copies I have seen in many years.
Bluesnik, Jackie McLean's seventh session as a leader for Blue Note Records, was one of only two recordings issued by McLean in 1961. With a lineup of trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, bassist Doug Watkins, pianist Kenny Drew, and drummer Pete La Roca, McLean laid down a hard blowing session of six tunes based completely on blues motifs. Many critics -- as well as jazz fans -- hold to the opinion that Bluesnik may be McLean's most accessible session for the label.  There are the great moments in blues here that helped to establish McLean as a giant, such as "Drew's Blues," and the lovely "Torchin'," that closes the set. The swing factor of the rhythm section is undeniable, especially the interaction between Drew and La Roca. In all, this is a monster session effortlessly performed by a soloist at an early peak with a supporting cast of blazing sidemen.
