Yes, it was a good one.

Yes, it was a good one.

My Coltrane Qrt "Soul Eyes" request included, for which I'm very grateful. It's a great ballad, recorded by Trane twice, more? But that's the Qrt 1962 definitive version. It would be good to think Mal Waldron received decent royalties for that composition throughout his lifetime, but I've no idea of the publishing deal he had. A lot of Waldron's compositions for what were often Prestige "ensemble", little rehearsal dates were excellent and deserve to be heard again.

BN: Hope you have a C60 of the Jazz Legends I did with Mal. Lovely man. He signed a copy of his Soul Eyes album for me...

Alyn, by "amazing" coincidence I was going through boxes of tapes at the weekend, the "archive", and indeed found the C90 of you and Mal...in perfect condition! Excellent. I was also looking today on YouTube at how just many versions of "Soul Eyes" there have been, as I said, I hope Mal got his rightful payback. *There's a really good, more uptempo than ballad version by Harold Vick, taken as a featured instrumental from a Abbey Lincoln concert, "Abbey sings Billie" or similar. One for the future.

* Actually listening to that Mal Waldron interview tape now, it came on at the point where he says when he worked for Prestige he'd write six or eight tunes on a night before a record date, targeting them to who he was told would be on the date. Hence "Soul Eyes" for Coltrane "knowing his sound". A hell of a work schedule. It's a very moving interview sensitivity done. Now listening to his film music for "The Cool World", played by Dizzy's Quintet. Again, some great & neglected stuff. Incidentally, "The Cool World" directed by Shirley Clarke (who also directed "The Connection") is now up on YouTube. Not a very good print but well worth watching.

One of my favourite Mal Waldron tracks is the haunting 1986 Village Vanguard version of 'The Seagulls of Kristiansund' - far too long for JRR!
