The Whirling Dervish is an album by American jazz pianist Mal Waldron featuring performances recorded in Paris in 1972 and released by the French America label.[1]
Reception
The Allmusic review by Jason Ankeny awarded the album 4 stars stating "The Whirling Dervish looms among Mal Waldron's boldest and most challenging sessions -- its three epic compositions are intimidating in their scope and reach, but the music rewards the intellectual commitment it demands with some of the pianist's most inspired playing".[2]
