mjzee Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 Release date September 23: Searching In Grenoble: The 1978 Solo Piano Concert is a previously unissued recording of jazz icon Mal Waldron's mesmerizing performance at the "Five Days of Jazz" series in Grenoble, France on March 23, 1978. Waldron was Billie Holiday's final accompanist, played with John Coltrane, Charles Mingus and Jackie McLean, and recorded dozens of solo albums before his passing in 2002. The beautifully designed, deluxe 2-CD set includes photos, an extensive 24-page booklet, essays and interviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pim Posted October 22, 2022 Report Share Posted October 22, 2022 Anymore impressions by other boardmembers? This one keeps getting postponed here in Europe. Now the owner of the one and only Mal Waldron blog is one of the last people who cant listen to the new release. Life could be so unfair....
