Mal Waldron - All alone
In 1963 Mal Waldron took heroin overdose.
"I couldn't remember my own name. My hands were trembling, I couldn't play the piano. I needed shock treatments and a spinal tap to bring me back"1966 he release his first record after the overdose, a solo piano performance. It's maybe a bit simpler than the usual Mal Waldron stuff, but in that there also a beauty.
