“Like Old Times” is a sublime meeting of two jazz luminaries—pianist Mal Waldron and alto saxophonist Jackie McLean. Recorded in 1976, this session bridges the hard bop roots of both artists with an openness that hints at the exploratory spirit of later years. Waldron’s brooding, percussive approach to the piano meets McLean’s sharp, emotionally charged saxophone lines, resulting in a dialogue that feels both familiar and daring. What truly sets this album apart is the chemistry between the two, honed from years of collaboration and shared stages. Each track reveals layers of their musical personalities: Waldron’s evocative chordal textures provide the perfect canvas for McLean’s searching improvisations. The repertoire pays homage to the classic jazz language while leaving ample room for expressive surprises. For collectors and jazz aficionados, “Like Old Times” is more than a throwback—it’s a living document of two artists in full command of their craft, honoring tradition while pushing their own boundaries. The record’s warmth and intimacy make it a must-have for anyone who treasures the conversation at the heart of great jazz. This is an album that rewards repeated listening and invites you back, time and again.
