Its amazing how rarely Dolphy 'resolves' his themes. Hes one of very very very few soloists who can go and go and go and not ever get boring. He uses root notes like passing tones. He has no concern with getting back to them or staying with them.
He goes out to Lunch, and he just doesn't come back. In -this- regard, I actually put him ABOVE Trane and Bird.
sinceilostmytooth..You can start with the recordings from the prestige label Out there for example..there is also a box set on Prestige, but these should still be available to purchase individually..I also recommend Charles Mingus presents Charles Mingus on the Candid..Dolphy has some outstanding solos and call and response exchanges with Mingus..I love Mingus Antibes 60 on Atlantic..more mind-blowing exchanges. Enjoy
I love this album! will someone please recommend me some other stuff that is equally mindblowing? Eric Dolphy just makes sense to me, I've tried getting into other avante-garde and free jazz, but so far I haven't been able to match that same feeling.
Oh how I love this track! It has the daring of free-form, but is still structured and together. And there's the mad instrumentation that's sane, the rhythmn that's a constant, even when you think it's not, I could go on and on! Dearly though I love all of Blue Train, how is this not better, and a classic?
Notice I said god stuff not good stuff,its called chaos in the blood, the blood of gods of earth, that pineal gland stuff,yea people were born with it yeaaaaaa baby,the original man and this music is our essence ; )
The non musically inclined fool that said this sound looney toon, you have no concept of artistry,this is god stuff you will never understand,Hotep brothers and sisters.
@rahsaan71 actually, Warner Bros. cartoon composers like Carl Stalling, Milt Franklyn and William Lava were amazing and often very avant-garde musicians, very similar to Dolphy's combination of playfulness with great technicality and skill. so it looks like it is *you* who will never understand, you horrible philistine snob
@rekingooo hehe I kinda understand what he's talking about, but I just think it's the amount of dissonance and tension in it like, at least in this song, this is my first time hearing it, sounds ace!!! hehehe But I do still understand what he means
no brother, playing his 3 instruments 16 hours a day made dolphy the person he was. Mingus knew genius when he heard it. Also Muloc7253, try Moanin' by mingus (not to be confused with the Timmons\Blakey 'Moaning'
Slapstick because its so Syncopated it comes around...

Besides the states of beauty his music inspires,
Eric Dolphy serves to remind us, that, sadly, even thin, relatively healthy, middle aged people, can die of diabetes.
