Reviews
“Up Popped the Devil” is one of my favorite Mal Waldron albums. The compositions are much more edgy than most other Waldron works. I also tend to lean towards his albums in which the instruments leave lots of space between the notes and between the players. Like many recordings of Waldron “Up Popped the Devil” captures the sonic signature of the session with little or no studio embellishments. Here the sound is dry, the room is pretty dead almost like a practice room, even the quality of piano seems to suggest that mic placement and even tuning wasn’t as important as capturing the moment. The result is a intimate no frills portrait of a unique group of players skillfully exploring the textures of Waldron’s music without a net.
