Another of Waldron's early 70's output, this was recorded in Paris in May of '72.After my last posting I found this in the cd player frequently over the next few days.
This is a particularly nice trio session with the opening piece entering in at a lengthy 25 minutes. Sure it requires some attention but the rewards are great. The title tune proves to be aptly named as spins off at a quick pace. It is a bit more accesible but never short of ideas, takes an interesting turn as Waldron lays out for a bit and then makes a sly re entry. The final piece, the shortest, Walk is the closest to a standard post bop entry. Once again the title reflects the feel of the music as we stroll away from the lp feeling satisfied and happy.
I don't believe this lp is terribly hard to come by, but it seems to be criminally overlooked.
