Description
The second duo meeting between British saxophonist George Haslam and legendary US jazz pianist Mal Waldron, recorded Oxfordshire, 20 April 1995. They performed three jazz standards, Waldron's "After the Carnage", a traditional Japanese song, original compositions and one by Richard Leigh Harris.
Personnel: Mal Waldron (piano), George Haslam (baritone saxophone, tarogato)
Press:
"These engaging duet records with Haslam don't have the gravitas and sheer monumentality of the best Waldron, but their friendly dialogue has its own rewards and at some moments there is the trademark dry, lyrical intensity, which is in all of the pianist's best work...Haslam's light, flexible lines make an attractively serene counterpoint. Excellent recording on both discs." - The Penguin Guide to Jazz on CD
"There is plenty of fine music in the freer tracks. "One for Steve" (Steve Lacy - Waldron's usual duet partner) and "Tangled Lawful Bells", in particular, feature some excellent work by both musicians." - Jazz Live
