New York Calling is an album by alto saxophonist Jackie McLean and the Cosmic Brotherhood, recorded in 1974 and released on the SteepleChase label. [1] [2]
The AllMusic review by Jim Todd stated: "Jackie McLean's band on New York Calling, the Cosmic Brotherhood, plays with uncompromising passion, fury, and intelligence. The group, a generation younger than the leader, has a sound that is definitive '70s advanced hard bop. ...It's to McLean's credit that the date bears the stamp of his band's artistry as much as it does his own".
