Mal Waldron - Tokyo Bound
Review by Abel Costa
Tokyo Bound is an album by the renowned jazz pianist Mal Waldron, released in 1977. The album features Waldron's signature style of bluesy, soulful jazz, infused with a touch of avant-garde experimentation.
The album kicks off with the title track, "Tokyo Bound," a moody, atmospheric piece that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Waldron's piano work is precise and emotive, and he is joined by a talented band that includes saxophonist Archie Shepp, bassist Reggie Workman, and drummer Andrew Cyrille.
The album features a mix of original compositions by Waldron, as well as covers of jazz standards like "My Funny Valentine" and "Round Midnight." Each track showcases Waldron's virtuosity as a pianist, as well as his ability to create complex, multi-layered compositions that are both challenging and rewarding for the listener.
