Waldron was often an accompanist for vocalists, and was Billie Holiday's regular accompanist from April 1957 until her death in July 1959. A breakdown caused by a drug overdose in 1963 left Waldron unable to play or remember any music; he regained his skills gradually, while redeveloping his speed of thought. He left the U.S. permanently in the mid-1960s, settled in Europe, and continued touring internationally until his death. In his 50-year career, Waldron recorded more than 100 albums under his own name and more than 70 for other band leaders. He also wrote for modern ballet, and composed the scores of several feature films. As a pianist, Waldron's roots lay chiefly in the hard bop and post-bop genres of the New York club scene of the 1950s, but with time he gravitated more towards free jazz. He is known for his dissonant chord voicings and distinctive later playing style, which featured repetition of notes and motifs. (en)

  • Malcolm Earl Waldron (New York, 16 agosto 1925 – Bruxelles, 2 dicembre 2002) è stato un pianista e compositore statunitense. Iniziò a suonare professionalmente a New York nel 1950, dopo essersi laureato. Nel decennio successivo Waldron guidò alcuni gruppi a suo nome e suonò nelle band guidate da Charles Mingus, Jackie McLean, John Coltrane e Eric Dolphy, fra gli altri. Nello stesso periodo, alla fine degli anni cinquanta, Waldron fu il pianista di riferimento dell'etichetta Prestige Records per cui prese parte a dozzine di dischi contribuendo anche con sue composizioni originali fra cui il suo brano più conosciuto, "". Waldron lavorò anche molto con cantanti e quanto meno deve essere ricordata la sua collaborazione con Billie Holiday negli ultimi anni, dal 1957 al 59. Nel 1963, a seguito di un'overdose di eroina, Waldron riportò gravi danni che lo resero incapace di suonare; si riprese gradualmente, recuperando le sue facoltà negli anni successivi e riprendendo la sua carriera di musicista. Abbandonò definitivamente gli Stati Uniti alla metà degli anni sessanta per stabilirsi in Europa, e continuò ad esibirsi sui palcoscenici internazionali fino alla sua morte. Nella sua cinquantennale carriera Waldron ha inciso più di cento album a suo nome e più di 70 con altri leader. Ha scritto composizioni per balletti e molte colonne sonore per il cinema. Come pianista Waldron si colloca fra i principali rappresentanti dell'hard bop e del post-bop nella scena newyorkese degli anni cinquanta ma, negli anni, ha avuto anche esperienze vicine ai linguaggi del free jazz. Il suo stile è riconoscibile per l'uso di accordi dissonanti e per lo stile solistico caratterizzato dalla ripetizione di note e frasi. (it)

  • Malcolm Earl Waldron (New York, 16 augustus 1925 – Brussel, 2 december 2002) was een Amerikaanse jazz- en wereldmuziekpianist en jazzcomponist. Omdat hij in New York geboren was hield hij zich vooral bezig met hardbop. Hij werd daarbij geïnspireerd door Thelonious Monk. Na een kleine prijs die hij voor zijn composities ontving in New York, in 1950, ging hij samenwerken met Ike Quebec, 'Big' Nick Nicholas en verschillende rhythm-and-bluesgroepen. Daarna werkte hij meerdere malen met Charles Mingus in 1954 en was de begeleidende pianist van Billie Holiday van 1957 tot 1959 tot zij overleed.Na de dood van Billie Holiday begon Mal Waldron eigen groepen en nam hij meerdere platen op voor het bekende jazzlabel Prestige. Hij schreef toen ook de jazzstandard Soul Eyes, een stuk dat vooral bekendheid kreeg door de versie van John Coltrane voor het label Impulse. Waldrons spel was uniek. Hij speelde zijn bas een geheel octaaf lager en zijn solo's toonden verwantschap met de latere minimal music. Waldron is op veel platen te vinden, onder meer op zijn eigen albums maar ook als speler met: John Coltrane, Eric Dolphy, Clifford Jordan, Archie Shepp, David Murray en Booker Little. In 1963 raakte hij enorm overspannen en hij moest daarna zijn techniek weer onder controle krijgen, vermoedelijk door het luisteren naar zijn eigen opnames. Na 1965 verhuisde Waldron naar München en daarna naar Brussel. Soms keerde hij terug naar de Verenigde Staten om daar weer op te treden. In de jaren 1980 en '90 werkte Mal Waldron veel met de Duitse jazz-rock-groep Embryo samen.In Nederland en België trad hij vaak in duo met avant-garde saxofonist Steve Lacy op, die nog met Thelonious Monk had gespeeld. Uit die samenwerking resulteerde postuum onder andere de opname uit de Amsterdamse jazzclub At the Bimhuis 1982. Waldrons gezondheid ging einde jaren 1990 steeds verder achteruit. Hij overleed in 2002 in Brussel. (nl)
