Eleven albums, recorded between 1985 and 2000, make up this second box of Mal Waldron on Black Saint and Soul Note. Most of them are conversations rather than band records. The pianist plays in duo with soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy and with bassist David Friesen, accompanies three singers, works alone and in trio, and appears as sideman on a Monk programme led by Anthony Braxton. Milan, and the Barigozzi Studio in particular, is where most of it was taped.
Five of the eleven are duos. Sempre Amore, recorded with Lacy at Barigozzi on February 17, 1986, works through Johnny Come Lately, Prelude To A Kiss and Azure; Communiqué, from March 1994 at Mu Rec Studio, is their second duo, released in 1997. With Friesen there is Dedication (Milan, November 1985) and Remembering Mal, taped at the Hyatt On Sunset in Los Angeles in July 1985 and issued only in 2006. Update, a solo record of March 10, 1986, includes Free For C.T. and Variations On A Theme By Cecil Taylor. Kim Parker sings standards on Sometimes I'm Blue (May 1985, with Isla Eckinger and Ed Thigpen). Tiziana Ghiglioni and trumpeter Enrico Rava share I'll Be Around (1989), and Judi Silvano's duo album Riding A Zephyr was recorded in Brussels in November 2000. Our Colline's A Treasure is a trio with Leonard Jones and Sangoma Everett from April 1987. Up And Down (July 1989) pairs him with Chico Freeman on tenor and soprano. Braxton's Six Monk's Compositions (1987), with Buell Neidlinger and Bill Osborne, runs from Brilliant Corners to Skippy.
