Our Take

In a world where jazz can often feel like a complex puzzle of intricate melodies and unpredictable harmonies, Eric Dolphy's "Out to Lunch" is a breath of fresh air. This album is like the musical equivalent of a wild rollercoaster ride - unexpected twists and turns that leave you exhilarated and slightly dizzy.

Dolphy's playful and avant-garde approach to his music is evident from the first note of "Hat and Beard." The way he weaves in and out of dissonant chords and complex rhythms is both fascinating and confusing in the best possible way. It's as if he's challenging the listener to keep up with his ever-evolving sound, daring them to dive headfirst into his sonic playground.

Tracks like "Something Sweet, Something Tender" and "Gazzelloni" showcase Dolphy's mastery of the bass clarinet and flute, two instruments that he effortlessly manipulates to create a truly unique sound. The way he effortlessly melds chaos and beauty in his compositions is nothing short of genius.

"Out to Lunch" is not for the faint of heart. It's a challenging listen, one that requires your full attention and a willingness to embrace the unknown. But for those brave enough to take the plunge, the rewards are endless. Eric Dolphy's fearless creativity will leave you in awe, wondering how one man could possess such musical wizardry. This album is a masterpiece, a testament to the power of experimental jazz and the limitless possibilities of the genre.

About the artist

Eric Dolphy

Eric Dolphy, the enigmatic jazz innovator with a flair for the avant-garde, is a musician like no other. Hailing from Los Angeles, Dolphy made a name for himself in the 1960s with his unconventional approach to the alto saxophone, flute, and bass clarinet. Dolphy's music is a sonic journey through uncharted territory, blending elements of bebop, free jazz, and classical music into a sound that is truly his own. His compositions are complex and challenging, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the world of jazz. But it's not just Dolphy's music that sets him apart – it's his eccentric personality and offbeat sense of humour that truly make him a one-of-a-kind artist. Known for his love of bad jokes and quirky fashion choices, Dolphy was always the life of the party wherever he went. Despite his untimely death at the age of 36, Dolphy's influence on the world of jazz is still felt today. His groundbreaking work with legends such as Charles Mingus and John Coltrane has inspired countless musicians to push the boundaries of their own creativity. So if you're looking for something a little different, a little out of the ordinary, look no further than Eric Dolphy. His music is a breath of fresh air in a world that can sometimes feel stale and predictable. Take a chance on Dolphy – you won't be disappointed.
