About this album
The Quest is a searching 1962 jazz album that brings together pianist Mal Waldron with Eric Dolphy and Booker Ervin in a tense, exploratory setting. Built from Waldron’s dark, lean writing and powered by a front line that could move from hard bop drive to freer improvisation, the session has become one of the most distinctive meetings in post-bop jazz. The interplay is focused and uncompromising, with Dolphy’s angular voice and Ervin’s muscular tenor giving the music a restless edge. Its lasting reputation rests on that balance of structure, freedom and mood.
