The Call is an album by American jazz pianist Mal Waldron, recorded in 1971 and released on the JAPO label...It is Waldron's only album as a bandleader to feature him playing the electric piano.

It was included as one of the 640 albums covered in the 2013 Japanese book Obscure Sound, written by Chee Shimizu. Shimizu praised the album for its "funky psychedelic groove" and interplay between Waldron's electric piano and Jimmy Jackson's organ - Wikipedia

“I feel if you look back too much,
you trip when you take a step forward.”
–Mal Waldron

"Over two long takes, averaging 20 minutes each, he and an all-star team transport us to a warm and inviting sound that is equal parts hard bop jam, psychedelic dream, and free jazz meditation." Tyran Grillo
