Description

New Vinyl Record – Eric Dolphy – Out To Lunch

Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series

In February 1964,Eric Dolphyassembled a formidable quintet of modern jazz visionaries withFreddie Hubbardon trumpet,Bobby Hutchersonon vibraphone,Richard Davison bass, andTony Williamson drums, and headed intoRudy Van Geldersstudio to record what would stand as his masterwork:Out to Lunch!

A genius artist of startling originality,Dolphymanaged to possess the revolutionary spirit of the avant-garde while keeping a foot firmly planted in the feeling of swing, a rare feat that the five original pieces here perfectly captured from the offbeat swagger of the opening Monk tribute Hat and Beard to the careening closer Straight Up and Down.

A1: Hat And Beard
A2: Something Sweet, Something Tender
A3: Gazzelloni
B1: Out To Lunch
B2: Straight Up And Down
