Recorded intermittently between June and September 1962, Year Of The Iron Sheep was Ken McIntyre's third album, the fruit of various studio sessions featuring three different personnel line-ups. Here the great multi-instrumentalist, mostly known for his collaborations with the likes of Eric Dolphy, Archie Shepp, Cecil Taylor, and Charlie Haden, is heard on alto sax and flute while the rhythm section variously features pianist Jacki Byard, bassists Ron Carter and Ahmed Abdul-Malik, drummers Ben Riley, Louis Hayes, and Warren Smith.

The record highlights McIntyre's sophisticated approach to composition and improvisation: angular yet melodic themes, rich harmonic ideas, and a subtle blend of intensity and restraint that keeps the listener engaged from the first groove to the run-out. Pressed on high-quality vinyl, "Year Of The Iron Sheep" is designed to deliver warmth, clarity, and dynamic range, making it a standout piece in any serious jazz or vinyl collection. The Maxi format allows for longer cuts and more breathing space between tracks, which enhances both sound quality and the dramatic arc of the music.
Ken McIntyre (also known as Makanda Ken McIntyre) was an influential figure in modern jazz, recognized for his multi-instrumental prowess on alto saxophone, flute, and oboe, as well as for his distinctive compositional voice. Active in the forward-thinking jazz scene of the 1960s and beyond, he became known for music that sits at the intersection of post-bop, avant-garde, and lyrical modernism. McIntyre's work has long been admired by dedicated jazz listeners and fellow musicians for its originality, structural clarity, and emotional depth. Over the years, his recordings have developed a strong cult following, and reissues of his catalog are often greeted as important opportunities for rediscovery by new generations of jazz fans.
