Live at Dreher, Paris 1981 is a live album by American jazz pianist Mal Waldron and soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy recorded in Paris in 1981 and released by the Hathut label. The four-CD box set combines recordings previously released on the LP's Snake Out in 1983, Herbe De L'oubli in 1986 and Let's Call This in 1986, with additional recordings from the concert series. The recordings were also released as two double-CD sets Live at Dreher, Paris 1981: Round Midnight Vol. 1 and Live at Dreher, Paris 1981: The Peak Vol. 2.

Reception

The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4½ stars stating "Lacy and Waldron display what so few duets in jazz history have been able to conjure: true synchronicity. This is a wonderfully gratifying set; one only wishes she or he could have been there". The review by Bill Shoemaker in JazzTimes said "for anyone with a serious interest in either artist, Live at Dreher Paris 1981 is an essential collection. By this time in their respective developments, both artists had stripped their approaches down to the bare essentials".
