	Eric Dolphy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dolphy's work is sometimes classified as free jazz, though he insisted that his compositions and solos were grounded in a thorough, if occasionally unorthodox, use of harmony.
		Dolphy had the benefit of a music room built as an extension to his parents' home, and it was here that he met and rehearsed with Clifford Brown, Max Roach and other well-known musicians when they were working on the American west coast.
		Dolphy came to wider prominence in drummer Chico Hamilton's quintet in 1958, and had a particularly fruitful relationship with bassist Charles Mingus, which began in 1959 and continued intermittently until Mingus's European tour of 1964.

		Eric Dolphy was a true original with his own distinctive styles on alto, flute, and bass clarinet.
		Eric Dolphy first recorded while with Roy Porter & His Orchestra (1948-1950) in Los Angeles, he was in the Army for two years, and he then played in obscurity in L.A. until he joined the Chico Hamilton Quintet in 1958.
		Late in 1961 Dolphy was part of the John Coltrane Quintet; their engagement at the Village Vanguard caused conservative critics to try to smear them as playing "anti-jazz" due to the lengthy and very free solos.

	Eric Dolphy – Iron Man
		Nearly 40 years after his untimely sudden death due to previously undetected diabetes, Eric Dolphy is still slowly earning the respect his body of work deserves.
		Rather than use a piano, Dolphy used vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson on this session, creating a more percussive, more exuberant sound on “Burning Spear.” Hutcherson may well be the “Iron Man” in the title track, as his metallic vibes keep both the massed horns and the energetic solos from spinning out where the busses don’t run.
		Partially, this is because Dolphy (unlike Coleman) never out-rightly discarded the idea of harmony for the parallel lines of Coleman’s free jazz or the dissonant density of Cecil Taylor.

	Eric Dolphy
		Dolphy's advocacy of the instrument cast him in the role of a party-crasher, the one who shows up sloppy drunk at a cotillion, offends the chaperones, upsets the punch bowl and yet manages to seduce all the debutantes.
		Dolphy was a dripping sponge of influences and his career reveals his level of comfort in a variety of settings.
		Dolphy did that, and his work now stands in contrast to a great many who seemed interested only in wrenching a melody out of its context and hand-hammering it into something different from its organic intention.

		Fourteen of the 78 tunes performed were penned by Dolphy, and all 89 recordings (alternative takes of several numbers were included) are enlivened by his performances on alto sax, clarinet, and flute.
		Listen to Dolphy's alto-sax solo interpretation of the pop standard "Tenderly." This sentimental melody is baroquely adorned by dashing, chatty-sounding saxophone filigrees.
		Dolphy's recording of "Out to Lunch" toyed with hints of a conventional march figure lurking around a highly irregular rhythmic form.

		Eric Dolphy was one of the greatest innovators the jazz world has ever seen.
		Dolphy probes the highest and lowest range of the bass clarinet with absolute ease, all the while staying within the reasonable harmonic and rhythmic confines of the structure of the piece.
		Dolphy was a strong lover of nature and his playing was strongly influenced by elements of sound found in the "wild." This piece switches from 4/4 to 6/8 to emulate the pacing of the Panther and the wild call of the Madrig.

	ERIC DOLPHY / Vintage Dolphy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		In my own experience, Eric Dolphy greeted life as he greeted music, with an inquisitiveness, generosity, and enthusiasm that was as infectious as it was natural.
		Eric was alert, discriminating, and selective, but he evaluated without being judgmental, and always with modesty and grace.
		Since this recording shows Eric in a number of settings, offers him such a range of challenges, and shows almost all the things he could do, all the approaches he knew to take to improvising, it gives opportunity for some discussion of the things he did.

		Dolphy could have listened to both sides, picked up his horn, and showed the way out in a dozen choruses.
		Dolphy, who studied classical flute with Elise Moennig (and brought the instrument into jazz more forcefully than anyone before him) and founded the bass clarinet as an improvising horn, flourished in a jazz scene far more turbulent and riven than today's.
		Dolphy began with a blast of creativity: he would never record as much for the rest of his life as he did in 1960-61.

		In the early 60s, Dolphy began a hugely prolific and arduous period of touring and recording throughout the USA and Europe.
		Although he is rightly associated with the concept of free jazz, Dolphy brought to this area of music his own carefully reasoned attitude, and he is perhaps better thought of as someone who stretched bebop to its very limits.

		Eric Dolphy was among the most daring, impassioned, and technically assured improvisers to come of age in the 1960s.
		Eric Dolphy has one foot in the compositional richness of Mingus and another in the avant-garde -- at the time, Dolphy was boldly stepping beyond tradition.
		Dolphy is terrific both as a composer and an instrumentalist -- bass clarinet on the first two tracks, flute on "Gazzelloni", and alto saxophone on the last two tracks.

		Eric Dolphy was a jazz multi-instrumentalist (alto sax, flute, and bass clarinet) who recorded in the late '50s and early '60s (he died in 1964 at the age of 36).
		Dolphy is noted for the large intervals he used, playing some form of the changes typically but the sevenths and thirteenths more than the tonics and dominants.
		Dolphy was highly trained, unlike Zappa, and was a virtuoso on each of his instruments.

	Eric Dolphy: Iron Man / Live at the Five Spot, Vol.1; Nathan Davis: The Other Side of Morning
		Dolphyâs playing was extraordinarily advanced harmonically, charting hitherto little-known territory in both upper and lower registers of the alto saxophone and bass clarinet, two of his principal instruments (he also played flute and clarinet).
		Among those to work with Dolphy in his last days in Germany in 1964 was reedman Nathan Davis, an expatriate in Paris and Berlin in the â60s who returned to the United States to teach at the University of Pittsburgh in 1969.
		âDolphy,â featuring a sinuous line for alto, cello and guitar, is an homage to the ebullient lyricism and sheer joy that filled Eric Dolphyâs music and made his personality as much an influence as his writing.

		He was inspired by bird calls and "Bird" (Charlie Parker was his guru, the object of Dolphy's mellifluous flute masterpiece "Ode to Charlie Parker," which is included here) and various African tonal languages, as well as by blues and a variety of swing saxophonists (Coleman Hawkins, Don Byas).
		Vintage Dolphy (GM Recordings) has just been reissued in an expanded version showcasing a previously unreleased version of Schuller's "Variant on a Theme of Thelonious Monk" -- a reformulation of Monk's "Criss Cross" performed by Dolphy in a jazz sextet supplemented by a classical string trio.
		The result on Hidden in Plain View (New World Records) is a lively reworking of Dolphy's legacy that adds to his new harmonic thinking and tonal colors a sense of humor he rarely displayed.

		Eric Dolphy : Softly, As in a Morning Sunrise
		This CD has a very interesting lineup of musicians: Eric Dolphy (sticking to bass clarinet throughout), pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Reggie Workman and drummer Mel Lewis.
		Dolphy was actually touring with the John Coltrane Quintet (of which Tyner and Workman were a part) at the time, and apparently Elvin Jones had passport problems, so Lewis subbed for him.

	ERIC DOLPHY / NAIMA
		Brilliantly opening the album with an unaccompanied statement on bass clarinet, Dolphy stretches out on a lengthy version of John Coltrane's immortal "Naima." His spirited playing on Jaki Byard's "Ode to Charlie Parker" is a prime example of how Dolphy helped transform the flute into a respectable jazz instrument.
		The 19-minute Dolphy original, "Springtime," sadly shows us just how much he had left to say, even though his time was set to run out.

		Perhaps this freshness is due, in part, to Dolphy's being allowed to record whatever he wanted to at the time, rather than trying to fit his playing and composing into someone else's concept.
		Acoustic bass-bass clarinet pairings were unheard of in the early '60s, yet Dolphy and Davis pull off their extended intertwining with aplomb.
		Dolphy would, sadly, not be around long enough to develop many of these ideas further himself, but the AACM—Braxton, Threadgill, the Art Ensemble of Chicago, and others—would and did for the remainder of the 20th century.

		Some examples of Eric's school work: papers from a physics course, which are actually all about music, though with relations to physics for the most part.
		I was terrible, but Eric and Sadie were wonderful, told great stories, revealed something of their personalities, and I shot some of their photos etc. and a bit of music.
