Enja/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1978. New Copy ... $12.99 16.99
A bold musical statement from Mal Waldron – one of his strongest efforts from his European time of the 70s, thanks to some great help from strong hornmen on the set!

Progressive/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1981. New Copy ... $18.99
An overlooked Mal Waldron album from the early 80s – recorded with a trio that includes George Mraz on bass and Al Foster on drums! Given the rhythm players, the sound here is a bit warmer than some of Waldron's more avant work from the European scene– and both sets are a nice reminder ... read more CD

Tompkins Square, 1978. New Copy 2CDs ... $22.99 24.99
Mal Waldron's a hell of a pianist, and one who almost has done some of his best work in a near-secret setting – as the scope of his talents in the 60s and 70s often expanded past recording opportunities – which makes the release of material like this such a wonderful thing! Although ... read more CD
Mal Waldron with Eric Dolphy & Booker Ervin —
Quest ... CD New Jazz/OJC, 1961. Used ... $11.99
Pivotal work from Waldron – stepping out of the blowing session mode, emerging as one of the 60s most striking moderinists. Like a lot of Waldron's records from the time, this set shows an amazing desire for new forms and modern ideas, and the mix of players – Eric Dolphy, Booker Ervin ... read more CD

Brunswick/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1972. New Copy ... $13.99 14.99

Walk-on/Jazz Room (UK), 1982. New Copy (reissue)... $21.99 24.99
Trumpeter Johnny Walker steps out of the gate with a really wonderful sound here – mixing some deeper spiritual inclinations with a bit of the jazzier funk you might hear from a musician like Donald Byrd – all served up with a sharp indie style that really gives the album its own sort ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

New York Scene ... LP New Jazz, 1957. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
George Wallington's New York Scene is a very sharp one – touched by the fire of George's earliest bop influences, but expanded out here with a nice degree of late 50s modernism!
