* * 1/2 Jackie McLean, “Rhythm of the Earth,” Birdology. The respected altoist has made a ‘90s version of his mid-’60s classic “Destination Out.” Alto sax, vibes and trombone occupy the front line now as they did then, and many of the tunes are angular and edgy, providing a visceral tableau for the leader’s biting-toned essays. The reflective “For Hofsa” and the inviting “Dark Castle” offer a respite of mellifluousness. Recommended for dedicated McLean fans.
