Free at Last is an album by American jazz pianist Mal Waldron recorded in 1969 and released on the ECM label.[1] The album was the first release on the influential European jazz label.
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow states, "The music overall is not that memorable or unique but it does have its unpredictable moments and finds Waldron really stretching himself."[2]
JazzTimes, in a retrospective analysis of ECM's first 50 years, commented, "It's doubtful that anyone who heard Free at Last in its day took particular notice of its fledgling label, but an unheeded message is still a message: We're on a different wavelength."[3]
