Mal/2 represents the perfect snapshot of Waldron during his most fruitful and creative period while at Prestige. The LP features an engaging and original set of arrangements, with a selection of top tier sidemen including Jackie McLean on Alto Saxophone, Sahib Shihab on Alto & Baritone Sax, John Coltrane on Tenor Saxophone, Julian Euell on Bass, both Bill Hardman and Idrees Sulieman on Trumpet and Art Taylor on Drums. These hard bop performances are a cut above many of the relatively straightforward and blues-based hard bop releases of the time and are among Coltranes lesser-known recordings. Original pressings of this rare jazz classic are highly sought after amongst collectors.
Cut in True Mono through our all valve Lyrec system from the original master tapes this fully letter pressed ERC edition provides an opportunity to enjoy this iconic album as it was intended some 64 years post its original release date.
