EMBRYO with MAL WALDRON ft. CHRISTIAN BURCHARD - For Eva (2000) APE (image+.cue), lossless

This album is an Embryo album without being one.. As this collection had appeared under Mal Waldron name back then. Indeed this 67 live collection shows the partnership between American jazz pianist and vibraphonist Christian Burchard, but also many other Embryo familiars like drummer Serfas, bassist Meid (also AD), etc. The whole thing was pure jazz back then, you could even call swing, because of its Lionel Hampton-type mallet-driven jazz. The quartet developed some very enjoyable but out-of-scope for this site jazz that borders Armstrong or the afore-mentioned Hampton. Virtuosic, but certainly not arrogant or show-off-ey, the 9 tracks taken from '67 concerts in Munich or Graz (Austria) are all originals penned by Mal Waldron or Burchard (just one) , with one cover, Autumn Leaves, with none standing out from the selection. web
