Ted Curson Group featuring Eric Dolphy - Bali Hai

Easily overlooked by Dolphy fans, "Ted Curson Group featuring Eric Dolphy" is perhaps a bit mistitled since it only features Eric on 2 of its 9 tracks. It's nevertheless a fine addition to the Dolphy discography. This session took place some time in April 1961 and has Ted Curson on trumpet, Eric Dolphy on flute, Jimmy Garison on bass, Danny Richmond on drums and Kenny Drew on piano.

I know next to nothing about this session and the cd - of wich my copy is not from the numbered, limited edition - has no liner notes at all. I do know, however, that Dolphy and Curson used to play together in Charles Mingus' band.

The album is released on a label called Jazz View and is still possible to find on ebay.
