This extended edition revisits and expands upon the original 1969 album, which holds historical significance as ECM?s very first release. The record features pianist Mal Waldron alongside Isla Eckinger on bass and Clarence Becton on drums, delivering an evocative blend of post-bop jazz with introspective improvisations and subtle interplay. The new edition includes additional tracks that further showcase the trio's dynamic range and creative synergy. ECM Records, founded in Munich in 1969 by Manfred Eicher, is renowned for its pristine sound quality and innovative approach to jazz and classical music production. Over decades, ECM has become synonymous with artistic excellence and has launched or nurtured countless influential musicians worldwide. Mal Waldron was an American jazz pianist celebrated for his distinctive style marked by deep lyricism and rhythmic complexity. Having worked extensively with legends like Billie Holiday, Charles Mingus, John Coltrane, Eric Dolphy, and Jackie McLean before establishing himself as a prolific bandleader in Europe during the late 1960s onward, Waldron?s career spans hundreds of recordings across genres from hard bop to avant-garde jazz. His work remains highly respected among critics for its emotional depth and inventive spirit.
