Up Popped the Devil is an album by American jazz pianist Mal Waldron recorded in 1973 and released by the Enja label.[ 1]
The AllMusic review by Bob Rusch awarded the album 4½ stars stating "Pianist Mal Waldron's music is characterized by a heavily-brooding rhythmic quality, with the left hand usually carrying the theme at one repetitious tempo while the right hammers away in juxtaposition with a counter tempo (usually faster)".[ 2]
