First Encounter


First Encounter is an album by American jazz pianist Mal Waldron and bassist Gary Peacock recorded in 1971 and released on the Japanese RCA Victor label.

Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 3 stars stating "The long improvisations on the four originals are melancholy, usually introverted and subtle. The interplay between Waldron and Peacock on the inside/outside music is the main asset to this obscure but generally rewarding session".
