Dolphy, Eric – Outward Bound

Description

New Vinyl Record -Dolphy, Eric – Outward Bound

Eric Dolphy has sometimes been described as an iconoclast, but inOutward Bound, he was not overturning his idol, Charlie Parker; he was building on Birds legacy. So deep was Dolphys musicianship, so free his imagination, that he enchanted trailblazers like John Coltrane and Charles Mingus. Partnering in this collection with the brilliant trumpeter Freddie Hubbard and a stunning rhythm section, Dolphy is at a peak of energy and creativity on alto saxophone, bass clarinet, and flute. He and Hubbard work with empathy reminiscent of the young Parker and Dizzy Gillespie. Pianist Jaki Byard, bassist George Tucker, and drummer Roy Haynes were ideal accompanists and co-conspirators in this widely influential work.
