Waldron, Malcolm Earl

Waldron, Malcolm Earl
▪ 2003
“Mal” 
      American jazz musician (b. Aug. 16, 1925, New York, N.Y.—d. Dec. 2, 2002, Brussels, Belg.), played piano in a rhythmically intense style that focused tightly on subtle thematic development, using spare, blues-oriented harmonies and ingeniously spaced phrases. He accompanied John Coltrane, Gene Ammons, Jackie McLean, and other stars on many recordings and played in important Billie Holiday, Charles Mingus, and Eric Dolphy groups before moving to Europe in 1965. He then enjoyed a unique freelance career as soloist and also worked with a parade of American and European improvisers, for his provocative interplay was suited to both bop and free jazz; much of his major work was as an interpreter of original and Thelonious Monk compositions with soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy, a fellow expatriate American, in frequent duet and combo concerts. Waldron also wrote songs that concentrated feeling in a few telling phrases (“Soul Eyes” and “Fire Waltz”) and sound-track music for films.
