In Reply to: Mal Waldron has died. posted by Dmitry on December 2, 2002 at 19:21:56:
Mal Waldron was (is?) one of the most underrated jazz musicians, at least as far as his exposure in the USA is concerned. He did, of course, choose to spend most of his life in Europe where he apparently was able to enjoy a much greater degree of success than might have been available to him here. Unfortunately a sad commentary on the cultural malaise which afflicts this country with regard to jazz musicians. And his passing is yet another reminder of just how old I am getting, since I can to this day clearly recall seeing his appearance on the great CBS TV broadcast "The Sound of Jazz" in 1957 along with, among many others, Billie Holiday, Count Basie, Thelonious Monk, Henry "Red" Allen, Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young, Jimmy Giuffre, Pee Wee Russell & Gerry Mulligan. (What, I wonder, are the chances these days of such a show appearing on a major network?)
