With: Mal Waldron (piano), Paulo Carduso (bass 1-4, 6-8), Stafford James (bass #5), John Betsch (drums 1-4, 6-8), Eddie Moore (drums #5), Barney Wilen (tenor saxophone #5), Beat Kiffsteiner (flute #6)
Short review for this one as it’s mostly a combination of two other record. This Alfa Jazz cd is a compilation with some tracks taken from ‘No More Tears for Lady Day’ (#3, 4, 8), ‘Spring in Prague’ (#1, 7) and ‘Movie Theme’s From France’ (#5). That means it contains 2 new tracks: Lonely One and A Dream of Love. The first is a pretty straightforward almost dull short jazz standard. The second is an interpretation of a Liszt composition that isn’t really a success. Beat Kiffsteiner’s flute gives it a silly sound. So yes, of course there are some great songs on this disc but you should probably want the original releases that were all three very good. Buy this one only if you really want to complete you’re Mal collection like I did. Unnecessary release.
