Here is what people are saying about the Mal Waldron with Eric Dolphy and Booker Ervin - The Quest

"Music, like life, is never a means to an end: living, or music-making, is its own reward."	2009-09-20
- Reviewed By caponsacchi
It's gratifying not merely to find this session still in print but at the top of Mal's discography in terms of sales. Mal belongs to the school of pianistic "minimalism," which has produced some of jazz' outstanding creative minds--Monk; Ellington (to a lesser degree, perhaps, but coming out of the same stripped-down James P. stride-style fortified by modern harmonies and a percussive attack); Basie (though when he decided not to turn over rhythmic duties to Joe Jones and company, he could be a formidable two-handed technician); John Lewis (who revealed more about his proficiencies than he intended when in a solo piano context); Horace Silver and Gil Coggins--all players who, especially to listeners who regretted ever taking up the piano after listening to Art, Bud, or Oscar, could be immensely reassuring. Like his "boss," Lady Day, Waldron plumbed deep wells in fertile grounds confined to the most limited of parameters. Of course, he's helped out immensely on this date by prime-time Eric Dolphy (perhaps the main attraction for many collectors) who moreover brings out some of the best of Booker Ervin, a tenor saxophonist whose association with Mingus and long obscurity has led to a limited but devoted, cult-like following. (The same might be said of Clifford Jordan and Tina Brooks.) Last but not least, the decision of Ron Carter to play cello opens up a spot for the perennially underrated, always dependable and prototypically unselfish bass player, Joe Benjamin. It's that easily overlooked "detail" that accounts for some remarkable, unexpected chemistry among these like-minded, forward-thinking players, all but guaranteeing that in this case the quest will be the listener's re-quest.

"An underrated gem"	2008-07-02
- Reviewed By User: A2Z600CXLG91Q1
I first became aware of Mal Waldron's genius through his interpretation of "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes." He introduced a certain richness to that song. Fast forward ten years later. I was watching an internet clip when I heard the song "Fire Waltz" from this CD. Somebody was kind enough to put a title to the song. I hurriedly ordered this CD from this site. By the way, on that same internet clip, someone commented that it was the best song on that popular site. While this might be hyperbole, "Fire Waltz" is simply amazing. Check out also "Thirteen," "We Diddit," and "Warm Canto." This is a must have. Booker Ervin can flat play the tenor.

"A CLASSIC JAZZ ALBUM!!!"	2007-11-26
- Reviewed By exodusparis
I am amazed that this album, "The Quest", by Mal Waldron is not one of the most well known masterpieces of the genre (such as, "Kind of Blue"). From it's "Twilight Zone" like opening track through Eric Dolphy's edgy solos, it's riveting. This CD really should really be included in any essential Jazz collection and as one of the basic titles in the Dolphy discography...

"A Gem"	2007-02-02
- Reviewed By pharoahswail
This is the sort of album I consider to be a strong, great little album that is not a monster classic. Recorded in the summer of '61, this album is Mal - piano, Dolphy - alto saxophone and clarinet (not his more frequent bass clarinet), Booker Ervin - tenor, Ron Carter - cello, Joe Benjamin - bass and Charlie Persip - drums. For me, it's really Ron's cello that cuts this album down a few pegs. Arco he's okay... nothing spectacular, but not a deal-breaker. The pizzicato is a total mood killer. Ron's a great musician but the stuff he's picking and thumping out of the cello is so clunky and out of place that it mangles the flow. Basically I just sit there and suffer through the cello because the rest of the album earns it. If all you ever heard of Ron was this, you'd have no idea that he can actually swing. Now to the good stuff... Mal's name is on the album and the compositions, but it feels like a Dolphy album. I don't have the issue from this product page. I have this album as part of the Eric Dolphy Complete Prestige Recordings boxed set (remastered 1995). This is another album that will make you lament Eric's early departure from this life. Warm Canto in particular makes me wonder what would have been. We all know Eric could do his exalted, off-kilter swing thing to perfection, but Canto (on clarinet) shows some great, slow ballad playing that feels like a tease... like he was growing into this direction. It makes me think he could have been an all-time ballad player had he gotten older... lived more... loved more... lost more. Booker is a stark contrast to Eric's playing, and they pair very well, particularly when playing at the same time. Booker's tough tenor with Eric skittering behind it. I'd love to hear William Parker adopt a couple of these tunes and let the Little Huey Orchestra take them where they may. Mal's playing is always cool, but this isn't one of his major albums in terms of long stretches of uninterrupted Mal soloing, so you may want to know that in advance. Also, a previous review mentions Booker Little on this album. He's not on this album. I think that reviewer just got their Fire Waltzes confused and was thinking of the Five Spot Dolphy-Little stuff. Essential for the Dolphy fan. Just be prepared to wade through the clumsy cello playing.

"yipes!"	2006-03-01
- Reviewed By sam888888888
This album gives me goosebumps. I got it because of Eric Dolphy, but there is a lot more to listen to on this album than Eric Dolphy alone (though he's excellent as usual). The inclusion of Booker Ervin gives the album the perfect texture, as his style in many ways contradicts that of Dolphy. Although the styles are different, they complement each other perfectly. Mal Waldron is a great composer, and many of his most excellent ideas appear on this album. The song "Thirteen" is a fine example...you'll just have to listen to it. Everyone on this album smokes. Get this...you wont regret it.

"excellent set that could benefit from a new remaster"	2005-10-27
- Reviewed By User: A3BWKPXJNK20XO
being on a recent booker ervin kick, i was thrilled to find this disc featuring the late great eric dolphy too. the themes here are minimal, the earlier reviewer who called them "showcases for soloists" was right on. ervin's got his sixties sound down, if you like his playing on his "book" series you'll dig it here-- melodic, powerful, and just "out" enough to show he knows how to play changes, but he isn't constricted to them. dolphy's a monster here, playing a lot of alto. (still my favorite of his many reeds)his playing is very free and vocal, but not harsh like i feel a lot of ornette's work can be. ron carter's cello is a nice texture, though i prefer his arco playing, especially on "duquility" (his pizzicato solos are interesting, but they lack the "wail" he can achieve with the bow) leader waldron is a modest player, never overextending himself, always the consumate accompanyist. unfortunately, it is in the sound of his piano that the album suffers-- not in his playing-- but in recording quality. the piano is down way too far in the mix, and eq'ed muddily so that his left hand is barely audible during his hushed solos. the horns are panned a bit too hard left and right, which can make for a strange headphone listen (you'll find yourself leaning one way or another)the record lacks some bass response too, and has an overall low output. kind of a shame consideing the beauty of this set-- one can't help but think if this were a blue note release it would have been "rudy van geldered" a long time ago. overall this is a worthwhile release, for fans of any of the group.
