Product Description

Dive into the world of jazz with Mal Waldron's latest offering, "Modal-Air," released on August 6, 2021, under the September Songs label. This compact yet powerful collection spans a mere 34 minutes but packs a punch with its diverse blend of hard bop, jazz, free jazz, and jazz blues. Waldron, a master of his craft, takes you on a journey through ten tracks, each with its own unique flavor and rhythm.

From the soothing melodies of "Lullaby Chant" to the upbeat energy of "Skippers Waltz," "Modal-Air" showcases Waldron's versatility and innovation. The album opens with the title track, "Modal-Air," setting the tone for an exploration of modal jazz that's both introspective and invigorating. "Easy Going" and "Summerday" bring a lighter touch, while "The Call to Arms" closes the album with a bold, assertive statement.

Waldron's piano work is at the forefront, supported by a stellar ensemble that includes some of the finest musicians in the jazz world. Whether you're a seasoned jazz aficionado or a newcomer to the genre, "Modal-Air" offers a rich and rewarding listening experience. It's a testament to Waldron's enduring influence and his ability to push the boundaries of jazz.

This is a 2022 Reissue released as a LP.

    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! :)
