McClure was born in New Haven, Connecticut, United States.[1] He started on piano at age five, and later played accordion and bass.[1] McClure studied privately with Joseph Iadone and, later, with Hall Overton and Don Sebesky.[1] McClure attended the Hartt School of Music,[2] graduating in 1963.[1]
From 1966 to 1969, he was a member of Charles Lloyd's "classic quartet" with pianist Keith Jarrett and drummer Jack DeJohnette,[3] which was voted "Group of the Year" in 1967 by Downbeat magazine.
In 1970, with pianist-composer Mike Nock, drummer Eddie Marshall and violinist Michael White, he co-founded the jazz-rock group, the Fourth Way.[1] He also participated in Carla Bley's album, Escalator over the Hill, and worked with saxophonist Joe Henderson.
In 1974, McClure joined Blood, Sweat & Tears, staying until 1975 and performing on three albums: Mirror Image, New City and In Concert.[1]
In the 1980s, he joined Quest, led by saxophonist Dave Liebman, which also included drummer Billy Hart and pianist Richie Beirach.[4] He also recorded a duo album with pianist Michel Petrucciani.[1] McClure's major engagements in the 1990s through the early 2000s were with Lee Konitz, and then with the reassembled Quest.
