Д.Д. Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 Gret undertaking, Pim. Prompted me to review my Waldron collection. The effect was probably not the one you expected your blog would have on its readers - I significantly pruned my Waldron collection, leaving just a few items (TUTUs, discs with Lacy, duo with Marion Brown). But that's not your fault - it's that Waldron fella. Regarding obtaining TUTU CDs - one can contact the label owner, Peter Weissmüller, directly at tutu@jazzrecords.com - his prices are actually very reasonable, and most of the CDs are in print. Have you covered these Time Warp duos (four volumes!) with Christian Burchard: https://open.spotify.com/album/1sG6Oljx9LSGxyomKmkhe7 ?

Pim Posted July 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2021 (edited) Nice trio outing with George Mraz and Al Foster. But I would go for the recent 2cd Progressive release that also includes the other session: Mal ‘81. I believe it’s still in print. https://www.amazon.de/dp/B00VGQTCFG/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?keywords=news+run+about+mal&qid=1625510759&sr=8-1 I reviewed it here: https://snake-out.blogspot.com/2021/02/1981-news-run-about-mal-mal-81.html?

clifford_thornton Posted Thursday at 05:15 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 05:15 PM Will definitely pick this one up at some point. The band is very interesting; Mal had an affinity for playing with rock-adjacent musicians at the time, given his work with Christan Burchard of Embryo, Jimmy Jackson (Embryo, Haboob, Amon Düül II), the Lafayette Afro-Rock Band, and probably more I am forgetting.

Thanks for the review Pim - will probably get this before it sells out - picked up a few SAM items in the past, most recently the wonderful Billy Harper LP BTW I was very into Magma in the 70s - still have some of their vinyl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pim Posted yesterday at 07:47 AM Author Report Share Posted yesterday at 07:47 AM (edited) Thanks for reading guys. I hope you enjoy the new release as much as I do As I am a little bit familiar with your musical taste now I think you will.

Teasing the Korean Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago Mal Waldron is a name I've heard for decades, but I never checked him out. I recently liberated a Mal Waldron CD from the free bin, on the Black Lion label. It is called Blues for Lady Day. It apparently contains a second album, too, considering the 70-minute disc length and the additional two tracks clocking in at 35 minutes. I haven't spun it yet.

It is called Blues for Lady Day. It apparently contains a second album, too, considering the 70-minute disc length and the additional two tracks clocking in at 35 minutes. I think that very Black Lion disc was my second-ever Mal purchase (maybe 15-18 yrs ago) — after Free At Last (1969) perhaps a year before. Funny story — I was in a Half Price Books and heard some distinctive, brooding piano-trio thing on the overhead speakers throughout the store. And even though I wasn’t steeped in Mal at the time (not at all), I felt strongly it might have been him… and I made one of the HPB employees go find the 6-disc player in the back office, and after I’d followed him to the back of the store, he came out of the office with 6 empty jewel boxes saying “one of these”. And low and behold, it was that Mal Black Lion disc. I asked him if it was a disc they’d pulled from the for-sale stock out on the floor, and when he said yes, I said I’d take it! Got it home, and discovered that it was that extra ‘bonus’ live album (just two long tracks) that I’d heard in the store. And then within 6 months I think I’d tracked down close to half-a-dozen other Mal discs (specifically from the early 70’s), most of them live.

The live tracks originally released on "A Little Bit Of Miles"(Freedom) in 1974 .... btw a mighty fine hour of dutch bassplayer Henk Haverhoek ....
