专辑介绍

by Ken Dryden

Steve Lacy and Mal Waldron had played together over several decades by the time this CD was recorded, one of many duo dates they've done. &Who Knows& is not one of Thelonious Monk's better-known works, but their aggressive and very playful approach to it should invite other musicians to explore it as well. On the other hand, &Blue Monk& is more reserved, with Lacy testing the limits of his instrument and Waldron's bluesy solo. A strident take of Charles Mingus' &Peggy's Blue Skylight& is immediately followed by his rather obscure &Smooch,& a haunting ballad made even more so by Lacy's plaintive tone. Their treatment of another overlooked song, Elmo Hope's &Roll On,& is also inspired. Each musician also contributed originals to the date. Waldron's mournful &No More Tears& and Lacy's repetitive but infectious blues &Wickets& invite repeated listenings, while each man has a solo feature as well. Like all collaborations featuring Steve Lacy and Mal Waldron together, this Soul Note CD is highly recommended.
