Mal Waldron - The Quest

Seemed an appropriate follow-on to Dialogue, as this is in a similar vein.

Waldron (piano) is the band leader here (although this has also come out as an Eric Dolphy release, likely due to comparative popularity at the time), with Dolphy (alto sax, clarinet), Booker Ervin (tenor sax), Ron Carter (cello), Joe Benjamin (bass), and Charlie Persip (drums).

This morning's #workout #music is from #EricDolphy - who combines the cerebral & the emotive, the innovative and the accessible like few in #jazz ever have. Like the Monk of the woodwinds it is all about the intervals. The weird colorization on this one gives it a #surreal quality.

Recorded in 1961 for a TV Special titled "Eric i sta'n" (Eric in town)

- – Far Cry (1962). Proficient on alto sax, flute and bass clarinet, Dolphy teamed with trumpeter Booker Little on this post-bop delight tracked in 1960 – just before Dolphy took the free jazz leap. Two Charlie Parker tributes start the LP, firing up Dolphy and Booker on some wicked soloing. Listeners used to Dolphy’s gnarlier Out to Lunch! material will marvel at the sublime lyricism of “Left Alone” and his unaccompanied sax solo, “Tenderly.”

- – Out to Lunch! (1964). Kicking rules aside, Dolphy spars with Bobby Hutcherson’s vibraphone and Freddie Hubbard’s trumpet as hard bop textures step into the realm of free jazz. The cloak-and-dagger groove of “Hat and Beard” and “Something Sweet, Something Tender” keep your feet on solid ground, although passages of near atonality peppering the LP reflect Dolphy’s work with Ornette Coleman. Dolphy’s last before diabetes took his life in Berlin.
