@stuartk, just about any Jackie McLean recording is an example of his tendency to play very sharp. I’m in no way suggesting that this is a deal breaker for me, nor that it should be for anyone else. It is just that I personally find it annoying at times. He was a great hard bop player who had a lot to say musically. Some listeners are more sensitive to, or concerned about intonation issues than others.
In answer to your question, just about any of his recordings are good examples of what I refer to. This is the first one that came up when I searched Jackie Mac on YouTube. He is very sharp. Notice how, on the first tune, the piano (as usual) sets a pitch (intonation) baseline. Jackie comes in and he is on a different pitch “plane” than that established by the piano. Notice how when Bill Hardman comes in on trumpet after Jackie plays how there is a sense of relaxation because his general pitch falls back in line with that of the piano. Jackie’s is considerably higher. This creates a sense of tension that is musically uncomfortable (for me). There are many references on line to this tendency of Jackie’s if you search “Jackie McLean intonation sharp”.
My point about Dolphy was that, for me, Dolphy’s manipulation of pitch was deliberate and an expressive technique. Also, he often played “outside” the harmony of the tune. This can be confused with playing out of tune because of the dissonance that playing outside any given chord’ s harmonic envelop creates. Two different things entirely.
On the subject of Woody Shaw. I have posted this at least twice before. One of my favorite records with some of my favorite Woody Shaw.
