1987 live album by Mal Waldron & Jackie McLean
Left Alone '86 Mal Waldron and saxophonist Jackie McLean released on the Japanese Paddle Wheel label in 1986.[ 1] Left Alone [ 2]
The AllMusic review by Ron Wynn awarded the album 4½ stars stating "Although he cannot maintain the same nonstop pace he had in the early '60s, Jackie McLean still plays magnificently. He demonstrated that repeatedly on this 1986 duo date with pianist Mal Waldron, whose lovely countermelodies , complementary solos, darting phrases, and supporting accompaniment proved a perfect contrast to McLean's forays. He is lyrical and engaging on some tracks; his explosive side emerges on others".[ 3]
