MICHAEL WALDROP/Triangularity:  When he can get away from the classroom and grading papers, drummer Waldrop has been cutting a pretty fair swath across the terrain in recent years.  Here we find him going back to the day, remastering his 2002 self released debut of his piano led trio that shows he knew which end was up right out of the box.  Still sounding fresh and contemporary, this is a solid, straight ahead trio set that has the sound and fury of all the best stuff from right in the pocket.  How nice he was thinking of us listeners when he was doing some recent house cleaning as this is a worthy addition to any growing collection on him.
