The 'Reminicent Suite' by American pianist Mal Waldron and Japanese trumpeter Terumasa Hino was first released in 1973 on the well - known Victor label. It's one of Waldron's Japan - only albums over three decades, mostly unavailable outside Japan. This album features two extended tracks, one on each side. The title track on Side A, composed by Waldron, has a dark, brooding heavy groove typical of his early 70s sound. 'Black Forest' on Side B, written by Hino, is a vivid and energetic piece with dense percussion and Hino's signature trumpet tone. Mal Waldron started his career in the early 1950s on the Prestige label, working with greats like Gene Ammons, Jackie McLean, and Charles Mingus. He's most famous for working with Billie Holiday before moving to Europe in the mid - 60s.
