Yes, I like him from Horace Silvers groups.  Louis Hayes did also several albums with Woody Shaw's group.

Here's on I like very much:

Oh yes that’s a great recording. One of the more underexposed recordings by Shaw.

[Jim Alfredson - Family Business]

Very, very cool! Congrats on bringing this out.

[Rashied Ali / Frank Lowe - Duo Exchange]

Looking forward to all of them. Ali is really one my favorite drummers. The last two records where I was pleasantly surprised by his company were Marion Browns Why Not and Jackie McLeans ‘Bout Soul. He always bring a certain energy to the music en even when he’s all over the place the structure and rhythm remains there.

this one is so incredibly good. You could easily picked it up from a used bin for 10 euros. I did anyway.

Thanks for these! Gonna track down all of these that I haven't heard yet, Blood and Guts looks amazing, I think Mal's live recordings tend to be my favorites from him, so I'm definitely excited to hear this one. Your blog looks like a great resource as well, definitely will mine some recommendations from there; just downloaded that Middelheim Jazz Festival bootleg you have in the five-star tag, looks tremendous. Also, I was glad to see you had the 1981 Dreher, Paris Steve Lacy duo compilation listed in your favorites, that's some of the very best music ever recorded IMO.

Hope it could be of help on your Waldron quest! I am pretty sure you are going to enjoy that Blood and Guts recording. It has the same energy as Number Nineteen.

Favre is Swiss. 

It's (great) Jean-Jacques Avenel on "One More Time", not Jenny-Clark. 

Oh yes my mistake. I always mix those two up. They are both excellent bass players by the way.

[What vinyl are you spinning right now??]

another excellent one from these series. With Junior Cook on tenor sax, Woody Shaw on piano, Ronnie Matthews on piano, Stafford James on bass and of course Louis on drums.

More McLean from ‘the shelf’.

I now see that they did not include the second session on the Connaiseur cd... That's a very weird choice. It's very, very good.

Thought I recognized the drummer's name – he's on some fantastic records with Theo Loevendie. Any recommendations for other Mal recordings with European musicians? Off the top of my head, I recall some of his 70s quintet records having some great European players on them (Moods, Hard Talk, etc.) and I'm certainly interested in hearing more from that period, especially sessions that are on the more obscure side like Number Nineteen seems to be.

Well with all European groups he recorded: Mal Waldron Trio (1966) Ursula (1969) Blood and Guts (1970) A Little Bit of Miles (1972). Of these Blood and Guts is the most essential. Thats such a great one.

There are also a lot of albums with great European players on them. The ones I'd reccomend best are:

Free at Last, 1969, with Isla Eckinger from Switzerland.

The Call, 1971 with Eberhard Weber from Germany

Black Glory, 1971 with Pierre Favre from France

Hard Talk, 1974 with Manfred Schoof from Germany and again Isla Eckinger

One Upmanship, 1977 with again Schoof

No More Tears for Lady Day, 1988 with Paolo Carduso who is Brazilian born but lived in Germany

From Dark into Light, 1994 with the excellent tenor saxophonist Nicolas Simion from Romania

Misterioso from 1998 with again Nicolas Simion

One More Time from 2002 with Jean Francois Jenny Clarke from France

[Marion Brown Live In Bremen 1969]

Ive been in a real Marion Brown mood last weeks so looking forward to this one.

[Help me start a Kickstarter campaign for Kenny G.]

Always thought that guy was the richest saxophone player on earth.

Makoto Terashita with Harold Land - Topology. Though a 2 Lp edition is always a little too much for me this is one fine reissue!

Probably some of the best Mal I've heard, drummer is on fire here

Yeah that’s a great one. That’s Dutch drummer Martin van Duynhoven on drums. Mal played with some excellent local music back then, not only on Holland but also in France and Germany.
