Mal Waldron

• DIGIPACK EDITION

Really evocative work from pianist Mal Waldron -- a rare Japanese session cut with trumpeter Terumasa Hino, and a hip group of players who really make the set sparkle!

The album's easily one of the most spiritual that Mal ever cut -- and features two side long tracks that build beautifully, with soaring, searching rhythms that are unlike anything else we've ever heard in another Waldron record. Other players include Takao Uematsu, Isao Suzuki, and Motohiko Hino -- and the set also feature added percussion, which really adds to the spiritual quality of the music.
