about

Someday my Prince Will Come originally appeared in the Disney film Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. Miles Davis made it a jazz standard, one of the earliest waltzes to achieve that status. The tender lyricism of Davis and Bill Evans is a point of departure for Maclean; but of course, it’s 2021 and the idea of sitting around waiting for some prince to save you is a somewhat outdated concept, the ludicrousness of which seems to gradually dawn on Maclean as his improvisations escape the bonds of sentimentality into wilder territory, inspired by the unconventional instructions given to him by his producer Brownman Ali just minutes before recording. At the start of the track, we hear Ali instructing Maclean to “start with an introspective Bill Evans approach, then move to a drunk and staggering 3, and then end with a funky backbeat 4”. Maclean deftly executes exactly that with an improvisational flair unto himself.
