The quality of the ensemble playing is chilling to say the very least its in a class of its own, especially when considering that this music is recorded in early 1964 To either warn or encourage people about this album, I must point out that it is very far from another Kind of Blue a lot of these eccentric themes are played over eccentric forms as well - some in 54, some in 94. Here he-and his team mates-gives the music great justice to say the least Dolphy seems to bring out a side in all these musicians that they probably hadnt gotten to, and do not get to, release daily in their playing. He has played classical music under the lead of Boulez, Stravinsky, Stokowski, and Leonard Bernstein as well. The album also features the experienced, regular Dolphy bass player Richard Davis, known for working with jazz-artists such as Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Chet Baker, Wes Montgomery, and Joe Zawinul, but also with artists like Bruce Springsteen and Barbra Streisand. The changes of melody and solo instruments are really refreshing. The percussion provides a constant feel of unease while the caterwauling of the horns finishes you off.ĭolphy plays all three instruments he was known for playing - all equally, and with equal out-of-this-world skill alto sax, flute, and bass clarinet. Takes a few listens before you start appreciating its beauty and complexity. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon.
