Waldron-Haslam is an album by jazz pianist Mal Waldron and baritone saxophonist George Haslam, recorded in 1994 and released on the English Slam label. ^[1]

Reception

The AllMusic review by Steve Loewy states: "The two musicians are fully in sync, aside from the few times, particularly on the improvised pieces, where there is a tendency to ramble. Haslam boasts a singularly attractive, thin tone that balances the pianist's dense styling. The commanding improvisations by both Haslam and Waldron straddle the boundaries of free and post-bop jazz in a compellingly charming way." ^[2]
