Mal Waldron Plays the Blues is a live album by American jazz pianist Mal Waldron recorded in Munich in 1971 and released on the Enja label. [1]
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 3 stars stating "The three Waldron and two Woode compositions generally have their own personalities (although none became standards) and serve as excellent showcases for Waldron's repetitive and percussive style. A fine effort". [2]
