John Jenkins

John Jenkins, who had an identical audio to Jackie McLean, was most dynamic in 1957, but dropped from music from the mid-’60s. In 1955, he caused Artwork Farmer, led his personal group, and freelanced around Chicago. Jenkins relocated to NY in 1957; used Charles Mingus; led two albums of his personal (on New Jazz and Blue Notice); and documented like a sideman with Donald Byrd, Hank Mobley, Paul Quinichette, Clifford Jordan, Sahib Shihab, and Wilbur Ware. Very little has been noticed from him since.
