Description

John McNeil (March 23, 1948 - September 27, 2024) launched his professional career with debut LP "Embarkation" SCS 1099) on SteepleChase in 1978 a few hours before he turned 30. Age 30 was his goal to release his first and he remarked "I just made it!"John McNeil's There Is No Greater Love (SCCD 34007) unveils a previously unheard 1983 Odense, Denmark session, capturing the trumpeter at a creative peak during his extensive Scandinavian tour. Joined by Danish masters Jesper Lundgaard and Aage Tanggaard, McNeil delivers a warm, incisive set blending standards, bebop classics, and his own "Out". His bright, agile phrasing - long praised for it's roots in Miles, Hubbard, and the Parker lineage-meets a deeply swinging Nordic rhythm team. This newly discovered trio date highlights McNeil's lyrical clarity, spontaneous invention, and enduring place in the modern jazz tradition.
