Jazz pianist Mal Waldron and soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy became acquainted at
the Five Spot in 1958. The following year, the saxophonist approached Waldron to
guest on his New Jazz debut, Reflections: Steve Lacy Plays Thelonious Monk. They
continued playing concerts and making records together until Waldron's death in
2002. Both collaborated with multi-disciplinary artists including filmmakers,
poets, painters, and sculptors. While their collaboration was by no means
prolific, releasing less than 15 albums together -- their duo offerings usually
contained compositions by both men -- and idiosyncratic readings of tunes by
Monk or Herbie Nichols. The Mighty Warriors: Live in Antwerp is a previously
unreleased 1995 quartet concert with drummer Andrew Cyrille and bassist Reggie
Workman. Released by the Barcelona-based Elemental Music in collaboration with
producer Zev Feldman, the double-disc package contains six long tracks spread
over an hour-and-40 minutes.
The program is introduced by Waldron's "What It Is." Well-known to the duo who
performed it live on numerous occasions, the pianist initially wrote and
recorded it for The Quest (1962). Here it's a swinging meditation on Monk's
harmonic phrasing and rhythmic inversions, jazz-blues, post-bop, and intricate
improvisation. The pair's stripped-down musical language governs the ensemble
play. It's followed by a reading of Monk's "Epistrophy." The rhythm section's
fluid interplay provides the soloists with the openness and swing required: Lacy
uncovers disguised subtleties in the melody. The saxophonist's "Longing" is up
next. Waldron adds rhythmic emphasis to his attack, balanced by wryly humorous
fills. The first disc closes with a lithe reading of "Monk's Dream" featuring an
ingenious walking solo from Workman as Cyrille answers, then delivers, a brief
yet canny solo of his own.
The second disc commences with Workman's "Variations of III," a nearly 25-minute
vanguard workout led by his arco playing. Lacy's pointillistic accents and
Cyrille's cymbals claim the fore nearly three minutes in as Waldron, in the
piano's upper register, places pulsing chordal fragments and strangely
articulated harmonic phrases under Lacy's breathing soprano, moving with
spirited post-bop engagement by the quartet. The band closes with a medley of
Waldron's "Snake-Out" (the title track of a 1982 Waldron-Lacy album) in medley
with his "Variations on a Theme by Cecil Taylor," from 1987's solo piano
offering Update. At just over 25 minutes, Waldron kicks it off with a blue modal
pattern in the lower register. Lacy underscores it by injecting bebop and
angular new thing jazz to the piano's labyrinthine accents. Workman's solo is an
exercise in circular vamps that, mantra-like, draw listeners in to prepare the
ground for Cyrille's rich, varied -- and lengthy -- drum solo. The pianist
re-enters with his "Variations on a Theme," that crisscrosses classical and jazz
harmony, early film music, and almost-elegant post-bop. Mighty Warriors is a
terrific find because of its terrific band, who are so deeply attuned to one
another that they perform with warmth, intention, and humor woven through their
eclectic yet powerful swing.~ Thom Jurek
