Waldron Mal - Left Alone

Fakta 'Left Alone' is an album by American jazz pianist Mal Waldron recorded in 1959 and released on the Bethlehem label. "Left Alone" is Waldron's signature song and was co-written by Billie Holiday. The tracks "Left Alone" and "Catwalk" were released as two sides of a single, they both were given four-star reviews by Billboard. The album as a whole is a typically atmospheric Waldron trio date, but with what sounds like an extra helping of lyricism on Mal's part. This can be felt on a haunting version of "You Don't Know What Love Is," and a quite unrecognizable take on Sonny Rollins' "Airegin." Mal Waldron was Billie Holiday's regular accompanist from April 1957 until her death in July 1959.
