Album Description

The Quest is a remarkable 1961 session led by pianist Mal Waldron, featuring an adventurous frontline with Eric Dolphy on alto saxophone and clarinet, and Booker Ervin on tenor saxophone. The album blends post-bop with avant-garde elements, marked by Waldron’s brooding compositions and the fiery, probing solos of Dolphy and Ervin. With support from Ron Carter on cello, Joe Benjamin on bass, and Charlie Persip on drums, the record stands as one of Waldron’s most innovative and forward-thinking works, pushing the boundaries of modern jazz in the early 1960s.
