Our Take
Our Take
Ah, the dynamic trio of Mal Waldron, Eric Dolphy, and Booker Ervin coming together for "The Quest." This album is like a mysterious journey through a musical maze, with each player bringing their own unique flavour to the mix.
Waldron's piano playing is smooth and moody, like a fine glass of whiskey on a rainy night. Dolphy's flute and saxophone work is quirky and unpredictable, adding a sense of whimsy to the proceedings. And Ervin's tenor saxophone is like a freight train barrelling through the tracks, bringing an irresistible energy to the ensemble.
Together, these three musical maestros create a sound that is both avant-garde and accessible, pushing the boundaries of what jazz can be while still remaining rooted in tradition. The interplay between the musicians is tight and effortless, with each player complementing the others perfectly.
Tracks like "Status Seeking" and "Warm Canto" showcase the group's ability to shift seamlessly between different moods and tempos, keeping the listener on their toes throughout. This is an album that demands to be listened to in its entirety, each track building on the last to create a cohesive and captivating listening experience.
In conclusion, "The Quest" is a must-listen for any jazz fan looking for something fresh and exciting. Waldron, Dolphy, and Ervin have created a musical masterpiece that is sure to stand the test of time. Eccentric, charismatic, and utterly mesmerising, this album is a true gem in the world of jazz.
