Veteran tenor
Dexter Gordon
and altoist
Jackie McLean
teamed up for a few club dates in 1973 and the results have been released on two Steeple Chase albums; the other one is
The Meeting
. Unlike the earlier release which focused on lesser-known material,
The Source
features the saxophonists on three jazz standards (
Miles Davis
's
"Half Nelson,"
"I Can't Get Started" and
Charlie Parker
's "Another Hair-Do") in addition to reviving
