Mal Waldron - The Quest (1961)

personnel :

Mal Waldron – piano
Eric Dolphy – alto saxophone, clarinet
Booker Ervin – tenor saxophone (tracks 1-4, 6 & 7)
Ron Carter – cello
Joe Benjamin – bass
Charlie Persip – drums

Although often reissued under Eric Dolphy's name, this CD reissue gives the leadership back to pianist Mal Waldron. The seven originals not only feature altoist Dolphy (who makes a rare appearance on clarinet during "Warm Canto") but tenor-saxophonist Booker Ervin, Ron Carter (on cello) and Waldron. With bassist Joe Benjamin and drummer Charlie Persip giving alert support, the complex music (which falls between hard bop and the avant-garde) is successfully interpreted.
