  • "For alto sax player Jackie McLean, "Mars" is not a euphoric state of mind but the classroom at the University of Hartford where he now makes his living as a teacher. In this portrait, McLean, approaching his forty-fifth birthday, discusses the politics of art and the future of jazz. On a more personal note, he reveals his battles with drug addiction and is seen performing in outtakes of Shirley Clarke's 1961 film The Connection. Engaging his students in spirited dialogue, McLean encourages them to expand their musical horizons and cites the talents of avant-garde musicians, Thelonius Monk and Sun Ra."@en
