Exceptional collaborations by two pillars of post-war jazz, alto saxophonist Jackie McLean and pianist Mal Waldron, on this 2CD Lonehill set which brings together their 1950’s quartet sessions. Most of these recordings were originally released in selections scattered across various albums.

There are also 5 bonus quintet tracks with the two leaders. All 20 tracks were recorded in New jersey between 1956 and 1957 and feature bassists Doug Watkins, Arthur Phipps & Julian Euell, and drummers Art Taylor & Al Dreares; plus on the bonus quintet dates : Donald Byrd, Hank Mobley & Bill Hardman.

Reviews

The Jazz Rag - Greg Murphy

Outstanding work from both Waldron and McLean. The two men made an excellent team, which makes this set well worth buying.

Jazz Journal - Bruce Crowther

The improvised lines rich with invention. I have little choice but to recommend it heartily.
