Description
Mal Waldron Quartet
"MAL-1"
this is the original first pressing 1956 yellow Prestige Label, deep groove, W 50th Street address.
RVG pressed in dead wax, on both sides.
Vinyl has some minor superficial visual scuffs which are not audible.
The test play was brilliant, if not for the scuffs I would rate this as near mint in playback quality.
sound is bright and full with little if any surface noise.
The Jacket is Excellent, some minor corner wear, otherwise perfect.
One of the cleanest copies I have seen in many years.
Mal Waldron's recording debut as a leader presents the pianist with his many gifts already well developed. For the 1956 quartet date, he takes charge to strike a balance between the sound of a blowing session and the refinement of a more polished date. At this stage of his development, Waldron was a distinctive bop pianist whose occasional sputtering, knotty phrasing revealed the acknowledged influence of Thelonious Monk, as well as similarities with contemporaries Al Haig and Bud Powell. The horn players -- top-flight boppers Idrees Sulieman on trumpet and Gigi Gryce on alto sax -- contribute hot solos played with class and authority, and disciplined ensemble work supports the overall structure of Waldron's charts with Waldron's effective use of staggered horn entries, dynamics, interesting harmonies, and occasional countermelodies adding color and variety to the performances. The tracks comprise a bright, focused performance of Benny Golson's "Stablemates," a sparse, bluesy take of the standard "Yesterdays," a pair of good Waldron originals and one from Sulieman, along with Lee Sears' "Transfiguration." Bassist Julian Euell and drummer Arthur Edgehill supply a strong and reliable bop pulse.
