Mcneil, John
There Is No Greater Love
John McNeils There Is No Greater Love 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 (bass) and Aage Tanggaard (drums), McNeil delivers a warm, incisive set blending standards, bebop classics, and his own "Out". His bright, agile phrasing - long praised for its roots in Miles, Hubbard, and the Parker lineage-meets a deeply swinging Nordic rhythm team. This newly discovered trio date highlights McNeils lyrical clarity, spontaneous invention, and enduring place in the modern jazz tradition.
