Absolute killer jazz-funk album by lengedary composer and pianist Mal Waldron. Recorded in Paris in 1975, produced by Pierre Jaubert it features members of the Lafayette Afro Rock Band. Waldron's lost album! Unlike his polished sessions for Japanese labels or the avant-garde swing of his earlier Prestige work, Candy Girl feels more spontaneous, even accidental — and that's part of its power. It's a document of Waldron as bandleader, collaborator, and explorer, captured in the midst of a vibrant, cross-cultural scene in mid-70s Paris. Never officially issued with a cover and barely released at all, Candy Girl is a rare convergence of two underground traditions: Waldron's Euro-exile electric jazz and the raw, sampled-future funk of the Lafayette Afro Rock Band. (Strut)
