Eric Dolphy
Go to tunes

Esoteric Sound, NYC, November 1960

Eric Dolphy (as,fl); Ron Carter (bass on Dolphy-N, Triple Mix)

Dolphy-N [6:53] (as), Inner Flight #1 [4:11] (fl), Inner Flight #2 [4:08] (fl), Triple Mix [9:01] (fl,bcl)

Blue Note BT-85131, "Other Aspects", see above and below for other tracks on this great album, also available on CD (CDP48041), and (J)CP32-5346. The Inner Flights are unaccompanied, I think the only such examples on record. Triple Mix is on Jazzway Mutt 1502, "Naima". Triple Mix has overdubbed flute, bass clarinet, and bass. These were recorded by Jerry Newman, and all titles were assigned posthumously by Hale Smith, who composed Dolphy-N. There is an unissued alternate take of Dolphy-N.

Gunther Schuller and his Orchestra
Go to tunes

Atlantic Studios, NYC, 20 December 1960

Eric Dolphy (fl,bcl,as); Robert DiDomenica (fl); Jim Hall (gtr); Eddie Costa (vib); Bill Evans (pno); Scott LaFaro (bass); George Duvivier (bass); Sticks Evans (dr); Contemporary String Quartet: Charles Libove, Roland Vamos (vln); Harry Zaratzian (vla); Joseph Tekula (cel); and Ornette Coleman (as).

Variants on a Theme of John Lewis (Django) [10:15] (fl), Variants on a Theme of Thelonious Monk (Criss- Cross) [15:23] (fl,bcl)

Ornette plays on the Monk one only. Gunther Schuller does everything else here. Interesting, somewhat dense music, some cool lines by the stars. This is Atlantic SD1365, "Jazz Abstractions". It is dedicated to LaFaro, who was killed soon after this date. Also on (F)587.043, 588.043.

Eric Dolphy-Booker Little Quintet
Go to tunes

Hackensack, NJ, 21 December 1960

Booker Little (tpt); Eric Dolphy (as,fl,bcl); Jaki Byard (pno); Ron Carter (bass); Roy Haynes (dr).

Ode to Charlie Parker [8:00] (fl), Bird's Mother [8:45] (bcl), It's Magic [5:40] (bcl), Serene [6:38] (bcl), Miss Ann [4:15] (as), Far Cry [3:50] (as), Left Alone [6:40] (fl), Tenderly [4:15] (as)

Out in New Jersey Eric and Booker (for the first time) got together to record "Far Cry", Prestige PR7747 or New Jazz NJLP8270, and on the twofer PR24053 with "Where?". Serene was left off these albums, but was finally released on "Dash One", MPP2517. Available now as OJC 400-2 (LP, CD). The CD has the missing Serene on it, which is also on the Prestige compilation PR24046, "25 Years of Prestige". Also on the Fantasy box, 9PRCD-44182, (F)FCD60.022, (J)VIJ4034, Fonit Cetra (I)HBS6157, (J)VDJ1594, Franklin Mint 75#19, Musica Jazz (I)MJP1018, (J)VICJ23580, (J)SMJ6569, SMJ7555, VIJ228, VDJ1613, Esquire (E)32-193 (probably never issued), Bellaphon (G)BJS40156.
Far Cry is Out There. Bird's Mother is also known as Mrs. Parker of K.C. Booker doesn't play on Left Alone, Tenderly and It's Magic. Tenderly is an unaccompanied alto solo. I guess this day wasn't unusual for Eric, who played about 20 hours every day. He doesn't sound tired to me anywhere here.

Joe Hellerstein has samples and transcriptions of Eric's solos on Serene and Miss Ann on the World Wide Web. Click here to go to his Dolphy page.

and later that day, specifically 8 pm to 12:30 am (thanks to Reinhold Wendt for that info)...
Ornette Coleman Double Quartet
Go to tunes

A&R Studios, NYC, 21 December 1960

Ornette Coleman (as); Eric Dolphy (bcl); Don Cherry (pocket tpt); Freddie Hubbard (tpt); Charlie Haden, Scott LaFaro (bass); Billy Higgins, Ed Blackwell (dr).

First Take [17:00], Free Jazz [36:23]

Ornette plays on all of this. A noted classic, this runs from tremendously exciting to refreshing. The main recording is on Atlantic SD1364, "Free Jazz". The first take is on Atlantic 1588, "Twins", which is a compilation of great Ornette stuff, including Check Up, one of my favorite tunes. The Atlantic CD version (AT813472) of Free Jazz includes both takes. Also on (E)K50240, (F)40232, 412.008, (EU)ATL50240, (J)P-6095A, P-7511, (E)K40278, 60043, (J)P-8165, SD8810.

Latin Jazz Quintet with Eric Dolphy
Go to tunes

NYC, late 1960 or early 1961

You're the Cutest One [3:12] (bcl), Speak Low [4:58] (fl), I Got Rhythm [2:38] (bcl), Night in Tunisia [3:52] (as), Chacha King [2:33] (fl), I Wish I Were in Love Again [3:08] (bcl), Lover [2:49] (fl), Mangolina [2:10] (fl), April Rain [6:33] (fl)

United Artists UAL4071/UAS5071. Not the same band as the earlier Latin Jazz session. The quintet also does You Don't Know What Love Is without Eric. ChaCha King is Danse Macabre.

Abbey Lincoln
Go to tunes

Nola Penthouse Studio, NYC, 22 February 1961

Abbey Lincoln (vcl); Booker Little (tpt); Julian Priester (tbn); Eric Dolphy (as,fl,picc,bcl); Coleman Hawkins, Walter Benton (ts); Mal Waldron (pno); Art Davis (bass); Max Roach (dr); Roger Sanders, Robert Whitley (conga).

Straight Ahead [5:15], When Malindy Sings [4:00], In the Red [8:23], Blue Monk [6:32], Left Alone [6:42], African Lady [3:42, 3:36], Retribution [3:45]

Candid CJM8015/CJS9015, 79015 on CD, "Straight Ahead", and an alternate take of African Lady on CCD 79033 (RealAudio sample of a bit of Hawkins' solo with Eric on piccolo in background). This is Lincoln and Hawkins' date, but there are some moments for Eric and Booker to back Lincoln very effectively. The piccolo on African Lady is interesting. This is easily my favorite version of Left Alone, the first version that really moved me. Also on KZ31037, (EU)S64655, (J)SOPC-57007, (J)SMJ-6190, JAZ5043, Candid 45-602, with Blue Monk on FM-008.

Impulse AS-5 and MCAD-5659, "The Blues and the Abstract Truth". At least one tune from this album is extremely popular. Nice band, interesting context for Eric, not his most memorable bunch of solos though. Other releases include HMV (E)CLP1528, CSD1422, (EU)IMPL8014, La Voce del Padrone (I)QEIP-8040, CSPQ-6263, (I)5027, MCA-29013, (J)YP-8501-AI, (J)VIM-4646, (J)VIM-5561, (J)VIM-5648, Jasmine (E)JAS20, IA-9335-2, MCA2-4148, Philips (G)P632061L, AS-9237-2, FM-034, Verve (EU)2615044, ASD-9228-3, ASY-9284-3, (NL)EPIM5543.

New Jazz NJLP8255, OJC-099-2 (LP and CD), "Straight Ahead". Also on Prestige PR24060, a twofer with "Screamin' the Blues", and on the Fantasy box, 9PRCD-44182. At least as cool as above, but less known. The playing on this record is superb, and the music and musicianship are extraordinary. This should be required listening for bands playing in this style. Also on Esquire (E)32-168, (J)SMJ-6506, (NL)PPR083, Fonit Cetra (I)HB6139, Boplicity (E)BOMP10. Ralph's New Blues is on FCD60-022.

Nola Penthouse Sound Studio, NYC, 4 April 1961

Booker Little (tpt); Julian Priester (tbn); Eric Dolphy (as,fl,bcl); Don Friedman (pno); Ron Carter (bass); Max Roach (dr,tympani).

Strength and Sanity [6:39, 5:59], Moods in Free Time [5:34] (as), Man of Words [4:44], Hazy Hues [5:42, 6:32] (as) (as)

Candid CJM8027/9027, "Out Front", with above. This is Booker. It couldn't be better, but I guess Eric could play more. But no complaints. I had previously stated: "Also reissued on Candid 30009, with alternate take of Strength and Sanity." I don't know where I got that information, which doesn't seem to be correct as far as I can tell. Instead, I only see Reichardt's listing of this alternate on Candid (J) 32JDC-106, a CD titled Out Front + 1, with a timing given of 5:59. CD reissue is Candid 79027. There is an alternate take of Hazy Hues on CCD 79033, with a solo that includes this: RealAudio sample. Moods in Free Time also appears on 79033. Other releases include (F)CANF6002, (J)SOPC-57004, (J)SMJ-6170, BR5019, New World Records NW275 (a compilation called Introspection that has We Speak and Strength and Sanity).

Nice stuff, and Round Midnight burns, all the thousands of times I hear this great composition and try to play it, Eric whipping through this version bounces around in my head. Definitive. Released on (F)68.943, (I)OM2001, (J)VIJ-131, (J)SMJ-6112, (I)HB6142, RLP(S9)3522, Boplicity (E)BPOM12.

Eric Dolphy-Booker Little Quintet
Go to tunes

Five Spot, NYC, 16 July 1961

Booker Little (tpt); Eric Dolphy (as,fl,bcl); Mal Waldron (pno); Richard Davis (bass); Ed Blackwell (dr).

Status Seeking [11:30] (as), God Bless the Child [5:16](bcl), Aggression [16:38] (bcl), Like Someone in Love [19:25] (fl), Fire Waltz [13:14] (as), Bee Vamp [12:13, 9:33] (bcl), The Prophet [21:00] (as), Number Eight [17:00] (as), Booker's Waltz [15:00] (bcl)

Live recording of a nights performance, this may be the best use ever of this method of capturing music. Everybody should have these recordings. Some of the releases of these are: Prestige 7382, "Here and There", which only has Status Seeking and God Bless the Child, New Jazz NJLP8260 or Prestige 7611, Vol. 1, containing Fire Waltz, Bee Vamp, and The Prophet, Prestige PR7294 or 7826, Vol. 2, containing Aggression and Like Someone in Love, Prestige PR7334, "Eric Dolphy & Booker Little Memorial Album" or Vol 3, containing Number Eight (also called Potsa Lotsa on some labels) and Booker's Waltz, and Prestige P-34002, "The Great Concert of Eric Dolphy" containing Vols. I, II, and III. Also on: Vol 1: OJC 133, Vol 2: OJC 247, Memorial Album: OJC 353-2. There is also another take of Bee Vamp on "Dash-1", MPP2517, that is also included on OJC-133.

Fire Waltz, Number Eight, the longer Bee Vamp, and Booker's Waltz are on Jazz Roots CD 56054 and Jazz Portraits CD 14553, "Fire Waltz". A good place to hear it all is on the Fantasy box, 9PRCD-44182.

Aggression is Booker at his best. He plays these blasts near the beginning of his solo that knocked me out the first time I heard it, and still thrill me tremendously. Like Someone in Love is equally masterful, with lovely chamber trios at beginning and end. The Prophet has some of Eric's best alto playing. Bee Vamp is a fascinating composition of Booker's. It's all excellent and rewarding.

John Coltrane Quintet
Go to tunes

Showboat, Philadelphia PA, unknown dates in 1961-62

John Coltrane (ss,ts); Eric Dolphy (as,bcl,fl); McCoy Tyner (pno); Reggie Workman (bass); Elvin Jones (dr).

West 42nd Street, C minor blues, Everytime We Say Goodbye, Softly as in a Morning Sunrise, Easy to Remember, My Favorite Things, Out of this World, Miles' Mode, Impressions [20:32] (as)

Presumably Eric is only on some of the tunes listed above. Miles' Mode is probably Red Planet, written by Eric. They also list a session on 24 July with Impressions, But Not for Me, and Greensleeves, a session on 26 July with Body and Soul, Traneing In, and Impressions, unrecorded performances from Detroit on 7 August, the Village Gate on 8 August, and the Monterey Jazz Festival on 22 September (this is with Wes Montgomery).
