Mal Waldron – Mal/4 Trio (1984 Japanese Pressing)

A quietly brilliant session from Mal Waldron, recorded in 1958 for Prestige’s New Jazz imprint. Mal/4 Trio captures Waldron in an introspective, stripped-down setting—just piano, bass, and drums—but the emotional depth and subtle tension speak volumes.

Known for his distinctive left-hand-driven style and deep sense of space, Waldron turns in thoughtful takes on standards like “Like Someone in Love” and “Get Happy,” while originals like “Splidium-Dow” show off his uniquely angular approach. The trio format gives him room to breathe and stretch, letting each phrase land with intent.

This 1984 Japanese reissue is pressed with the high-quality fidelity collectors expect—complete with the original insert and beautifully preserved artwork. A must-have for fans of Bill Evans, Ahmad Jamal, or anyone who likes their jazz with restraint, depth, and soul.
