Outward Bound!

The lawyer for the Dolphy estate sent me a photograph of a painting of Eric playing clarinet outside that used to sit above the sofa in the Dolphys' living room.

Thanks to Bill Cosby for having the painting reproduced (as well as for his interest in the music in general).

Here is a discography, some pictures, and sounds pertaining to Eric Dolphy.

Discography

From the discography you can also see pictures of some of the album (er... I mean CD) covers, thanks to Albrecht Heeffer.

You might also check out the source of most of my discography, Vladimir Simosko's biography/discography published by Da Capo Press. This may require a few weeks to get from Amazon, and may be available elsewhere, but I suspect you'll have to order it. Amazon has it for $10 it seems. If you can't find it, I have a few copies for $5 each. Une traduction en francais doit apparaitre bientot (a French translation is due any time now). And there is a new Finnish translation available.

I get many many requests for transcriptions. I recommend checking out what Andrew White has, at Andrew's Music, 4380 South Dakota Ave NE, Washington DC 20017, 202-526-3666. Michael McLaughlin says that he has some transcriptions as well. And see transcriptions I have on the web.


Dolphy mailing list

I have set up an email discussion list for people to pass along information relevant to Eric Dolphy. To subscribe to Dolphy-L, send a message to Dolphy-L-subscribe@adale.org with the message: subscribe. So, for instance, I would send a message like: 
To: Dolphy-L-subscribe@adale.org
From: alan@adale.org (Alan Saul)
Subject: 
__________

subscribe
Alternatively, you can send a message to Dolphy-l-request@adale.org with a line in the message body saying
subscribe Dolphy-L your_email_address


Here is the blurb that describes our intentions for this list:

Welcome to Dolphy-L, a discussion list concerning the musician Eric Dolphy and related topics.

Eric Dolphy lived from 1928 to 1964, and recorded primarily after 1959. An excellent biography/discography of Dolphy, by Vladimir Simosko and Barry Tepperman, is available through Da Capo Press, and versions of that discography, along with various other information, can be found at http://adale.org/Discographies/EDIntro.html on the web. These sources can be consulted for answers to Frequently Asked Questions.

We expect this list to be low-volume, limited to informative posts. Although not moderated, the list-owner may impose restrictions, and may change the list to a moderated form if necessary. For broader discussion, the Usenet newsgroup rec.music.bluenote is highly recommended. Because for now (as of 1996) most people spend time reading all email they receive, we will strive to spare subscribers from receiving things they might not want. It is important to understand, however, that you will get email that you might not like, and rather than take offense it is almost always preferable to delete it and forget it. In particular, please do not reply to the list unless you have something to say to everybody - otherwise, reply ONLY to the individual to whom your comments are specifically directed. We would ask for a high degree of sensitivity to diverse cultural norms, as well as tolerance.

To subscribe, unsubscribe, obtain help or get info about the list, send messages to Dolphy-l-request@adale.org or to Dolphy-L-subscribe@adale.org or to Dolphy-L-unsubscribe@adale.org rather than to the list (Dolphy-L@adale.org) itself.

Please SAVE this message somewhere convenient for the day when you will want to unsubscribe!
