sometimes it seems ... ( 1 month ago by Whatisthescore)

sometimes it seems like Dolphy is bullshitting his licks like he doesn't even know what he's doing except moving his fingers. Kind of like Pharoah Sanders or something.

This man has a definate eastern influence. For anyone into world music and Jazz it is just brilliant. It is not an easy listen though

The tune is "So long Eric" from Town Hall Concert 1962. Great monster record.

On the same token it seems like Danny Richmond (the drummer) has a horrible sense of tonality.

if this is acutally jazz then i think i played this song the first time i picked up my horn...i hate dolphys music with a passion at least on a saxophone bad ass bass clarinet player though...

GO Dolphy GO!
He played the Sax like a guitar or some Modular Synth in Reaktor lol. What a talent.

Takes balls to play ... ( 2 weeks ago by Nahanteer)

Takes balls to play like that and pull it off. I don't care for the way he tortues my ears melodically, but Dolphy was certainly a sick player.

Dude, then you were ... ( 2 weeks ago by ZamzarBob)

Dude, then you were the best sax player in the world. As far as saxophone proefficiency goes, I'd say 1. Michael Brecker, 2. John Coltrane, 3. Eric Dolphy. So, if this is how you played when you first picked up a horn, you should be blowing Brecker away by now.

dont like him. Hes ... ( 2 weeks ago by fireballkiller)

dont like him. Hes like these shred guitarists who play arp sweeps all day and think there great, he should slow down and FEEEELL the music, like dave brubeck man, or coltrane. that was just a mess of notes to me, never sent chills down my spine like real jazz does.

I personally own ... ( 1 week ago by ghostofdolphy)

I personally own every Dolphy album he recorded, and most of his sideman works. There's loads of works of his that showcase the many facets of his playing. So Long Eric is in a sense a showcase for Eric as well, not to mention *Baron* Mingus was pleased with his work till death, so in essence it was exactly the contrast, or voice that he was seeking for his band. And we know how Mingus was. *scary*.
A tip for listening to this *mess* is break it down to groups. They are just *blocks* of notes.

You can hear that * ... ( 1 week ago by ghostofdolphy)

You can hear that *reckless abandon* and carefree humor in his playing. Eric took inspiration from everywhere, and was interested in the most *modern* classical experiments as well. Buddy Colette recalled on this in an article I read. Practicing out of Violin books, Nicolas Slominsky's Thesaurus of Scales and Melodic Patterns, worked with George Russell..
He was in a sense another version of Trane releasing every one of his inspirations at the same time in a solo..
and yea. Lots of GUTS. lol

Wow... in one short ... ( 1 week ago by Angryjazz)

Wow... in one short, poorly-executed sentence you've dismissed one of the truest innovators of modern avant-garde jazz as akin to some Charvel-stroking hair farmer masturbating to an Yngwie transcription AND set yourself up as an authority on the True Nature of Jazz. It's one thing to not care for this music, but that comment really displays some serious ignorance on many levels.
Now take your Windham Hill CDs and run along before someone puts on "Interstellar Space" and scars you for life.

i religiously ... ( 1 week ago by 3chocolate3clock3)

i religiously listen to all kinds of jazz and recently tryed to get into his album "out to lunch" but just couldn't quite get it, any suggestions for other works of his?

LOL. Wow that's a ... ( 1 week ago by ghostofdolphy)

LOL. Wow that's a tough one to start with. It's his most popular though, and compared to the other notable Free albums, his is easily some of the most accessible IMHO, the Vibes really grounded it, yet kept it open.
Hmm. I'd start with Outward Bound by all means. It's worth it just for his flute work on Glad To Be Unhappy and April Fool. By any means it's a great starter album for his work.
Illinois Concert (Herbie on piano.), Last Date, and Far Cry with the late great Booker Little on Trumpet

ok ill give you 1 and 2 i love coltrane and brecker is b4 jesus in my bible but dolphy i wouldnt mention under the same breathe and as far as the comment "i think i played this the first time i picked up my horn" was a joke to me thats what he sounds like is someone wiggling fingers and being retarted on a sax but thats just me

I hooked on Eric Dolphy with Five spot recordings. Vol 1 is my favorite.

Hi Fireballkiller. ... ( 5 days ago by BruceKeddieArmstrong)

Hi Fireballkiller. Coltrane loved Dolphy's playing and played with him on several albums. So if you love Coltrane but don't immediately 'get' Dolphy, maybe it's worth persevering and trying to hear what Coltrane heard in his playing.

An absolute ... ( 1 day ago by AlannahBabalon156)

An absolute inspiration! It by listening to guys like this that keeps me going back to the sax for more and more woodshedding! This is Class!
