Jeanne Lee-Mal WaldronRecorded in 1994, After Hours is where the magnificent Jean Lee met the iconic Mal Waldron. Today, the absence of both artists makes this record of their encounter an essential memento of their artistry. ”
This CD is a bit of a surprise, a standards session featuring the usually-adventurous singer Jeanne Lee. The set of duets with pianist Mal Waldron are all taken at very relaxed tempoes with only "I Let A Song Go Out Of My Heart" swinging above a slow-medium pace. Lee mostly emphasizes the lyrics, just scatting sparingly on most tunes (although "Fire Waltz" is totally wordless). Waldron's accompaniment is typically rhythmic, creatively repetitive, brooding and personal. However it is Lee's haunting and highly expressive voice that really sticks in one's memory. ”
