Mal Waldron was an American jazz/world music pianist and composer. He was born on August 16, 1925 in New York City and passed away on December 2, 2002 in Brussels, Belgium. With his unique style and innovative compositions, Waldron made a significant impact on the jazz scene.

Waldron's musical talent extended beyond his own performances. He was the father of Mala Waldron and had previously been married to Elaine Waldron. His influence can be heard in the works of artists such as Jaki Byard, Andrew Hill, Kenny Drew, Booker Little, Jackie McLean, Horace Parlan, Hampton Hawes, Booker Ervin, Elvin Jones, Max Roach, Lennie Tristano, Randy Weston,
Elmo Hope,Kenny Dorham ,Clifford Jordan,Sam Rivers ,Johnny Griffin ,Oliver Nelson,Woody Shaw,and Sonny Clark.

Throughout his career spanning several decades,Mal Waldron left an indelible mark on the world of jazz with his soulful piano playing and captivating compositions. His legacy continues to inspire musicians around the globe.

Probably due to the fact that Eric Dolphy died untimely in 1964, making every one of his recorded contributions more widely sought after, pianist Mal Waldron's album, The Quest, was reissued soon after its release under the reedman's name. Tenor saxophonist Booker Ervin is also featured on The Quest. Ervin and Dolphy had both been members of the Charles Mingus group and the two reedmen recorded various LPs together with Mingus between 1960 and 1963.
