Pianist Mal Waldron. After earning a degree in composition he broke in with Charles Mingus, was Billie Holiday's accompanist, house pianist at Prestige records, long time collaborator with Steve Lacy and an exploratory, open minded, "freedom seeker." Tonight on Jazz From Blue Lake we'll focus on his studio recording "The Quest" and the famous 1961 Five Spot recordings with Eric Dolphy. 10pm-3am edt www.bluelake.org/radio
