Product description

Dive into the rich, improvisational world of jazz legend Mal Waldron with his captivating album "Modal-Air." Released on August 6, 2021, under the September Songs label, this collection of ten tracks is a testament to Waldron's enduring mastery of hard bop, jazz, free jazz, and jazz blues. Spanning a concise yet impactful 34 minutes, "Modal-Air" is a vibrant journey through Waldron's unique musical landscape.

The album kicks off with the title track, "Modal-Air," setting the stage for a series of intricate compositions that showcase Waldron's virtuosity on the piano. Each track, from the breezy "Easy Going" to the evocative "Lullaby Chant," offers a distinct flavor while maintaining a cohesive musical narrative. "Skippers Waltz" and "Summerday" provide moments of levity and warmth, while "The Call to Arms" closes the album with a powerful, introspective note.

"Modal-Air" is not just another album in Waldron's discography; it's a celebration of his enduring influence and innovation in the jazz world. The vinyl pressing, available through Naked Lunch, ensures that fans can enjoy the rich, analog sound that Waldron's music deserves. Whether you're a longtime admirer of Waldron's work or a newcomer to his genius, "Modal-Air" is an essential addition to any jazz enthusiast's collection.

This is a 2022 Reissue released as a LP.

Mono Original Sound Quality

I've got 2 copies of the mono original. Both look brand new, except for a bit of grey marking on the vinyl. The sound quality is just a tad above VG, with constant crackling and background noise. Are all copies like this? Thanks! :)

I've got 2 copies of the mono original. Both seem barely touched, like they're brand new, except for a bit of grey marking on the vinyl. The sound quality is just a tad above VG, with constant crackling and background noise. Are all copies like this? Thanks! :)

I have 2 copies of the mono original. Both appear barely used, like brand new, except for a grey mark/shadow on the vinyl. The sound quality is just a bit better than VG, with constant crackling and background noise. Are all copies like this? Thanks! :)
