Mal/2 is an album by the American jazz pianist Mal Waldron. It was released through Prestige Records in November 1957. The CD reissue added two additional recordings from the same sessions originally released on The Dealers (1957) as bonus tracks.

Reception

A cut above many of the relatively straightforward and blues-based hard bop dates of the time". | rev1 = AllMusic | rev1Score = |rev2 = The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings |rev2score =
