The two would later appear together on Waldron’s One Entrance from 1983, featuring Joe Henderson among others, as well as on Dedication, released on Soul Note in 1988, but this LP marks their very first recording as a duo. Friesen’s bass work is truly remarkable throughout, shadowing and deepening Waldron’s masterful, deeply evocative piano with great sensitivity. The result is a beautiful contemporary jazz record filled with the lyrical atmosphere so distinctive of this period in Waldron’s career. The closing track B3, with its contrast between a minimal low-end refrain and the main melodic line, is classic Waldron through and through—and absolutely stunning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eA2: \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/xsvxdiscott.xsrv.jp\/organicmusic\/samplemp3\/mp3\/20260413\/OMH26010358_a2.mp3\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eEncounters\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB1: \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/xsvxdiscott.xsrv.jp\/organicmusic\/samplemp3\/mp3\/20260413\/OMH26010358_b1.mp3\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eNight Wind\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB3: \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/xsvxdiscott.xsrv.jp\/organicmusic\/samplemp3\/mp3\/20260413\/OMH26010358_b3.mp3\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eOutside’s Inside Too\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"organic music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51432698544352,"sku":"OMH26010358","price":2970.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0511\/8073\/2616\/files\/IMG_0040.jpg?v=1776071818","url":"https:\/\/organicmusic.jp\/en\/products\/mal-waldron-and-david-friesen-encounters","provider":"PHYSICAL STORE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
