1978 studio album by Mal Waldron
Moods is an album by American jazz pianist Mal Waldron , recorded in 1978, and released by the Enja label.[1] Originally released as a double LP , the CD reissue omitted three of the piano solos (which were included as bonus tracks on the CD reissue of One-Upmanship ) to fit onto one compact disc and altered the running order; a later CD reissue reinstated Waldron's "Soul Eyes ".
Reception [ edit ] The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars, stating: "This enjoyable and subtle music gives one a well-rounded picture of Mal Waldron's talents in the late 1970s."[2]
