Product Details
Waldron spent the late 1950s as one of the most in-demand pianists in New York, anchoring sessions for Prestige and serving as Billie Holiday's accompanist in her final years. Mal/2 catches him leading his own date at a moment when Coltrane was still finding the voice that would soon reshape the instrument entirely, making this a rare document of two major talents in genuine conversation rather than orbit around a star.
Originally released in 1957 Mal Waldron’s Mal/2 album features some of jazz music’s biggest names. Joining Mal Waldron (piano) are John Coltrane (tenor sax), Idrees Sulieman (trumpet) and Ed Thigpen (drums) amongst others. This new edition of the album is released as part of the Original Jazz Classics Series and is pressed on 180-gram vinyl at RTI with all-analog mastering from the original tapes by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio and presented in a Tip-On Jacket.
