Searching in Grenoble: The 1978 Solo Piano Concert

Description

‘Searching In Grenoble: The 1978 Solo Piano Concert’ is a previously unissued recording of jazz icon Mal Waldron’s mesmerizing performance at the ‘Five Days of Jazz’ series in Grenoble, France on March 23, 1978. Waldron was Billie Holiday’s final accompanist, played on classic sessions with John Coltrane, Charles Mingus and Jackie McLean among others, and recorded dozens of solo albums as a leader before his passing in 2002. Originally produced by the legendary André Francís and transferred from the original Radio France tapes, this is the first official release of this music in cooperation with the Mal Waldron Estate and Ina (The Institut national de l’audiovisuel).
