Mal Waldron had a huge nervous breakdown after she died (he had a serious drug problem as well iirc), and no doubt got the usual tlc from US mental health services of that era. After which he couldn't even play the piano any more, it's quite a remarkable story of downfall and recovery.

Wow, I didn't know that story, that is remarkable.
I've had Lady in Autumn for about as long as I've been collecting CDs, but honestly you might just as well go for this. All those latter day albums are the best music ever recorded imo.

I got the Autumn double CD set in the end and yep, best music ever made.

^To state the obvious, still perfect in December. Just scored a sweetly priced nice '69 Dutch pressing

so I can only guess as to wtf is going on but I imagine someone at Universal Music noticed this amateur remix

and saw money to be made and made an official "Verve" release of this in Billie's name

or maybe it's some tiktok thing I'm not aware of
what a time...
