Our Take

Eric Dolphy's "Outward Bound" is a whirlwind of avant-garde jazz that will leave you both scratching your head and tapping your foot. Imagine if Thelonious Monk and Sun Ra had a love child, and you might come close to capturing the eccentric brilliance of this album.

From the mind-bending solos on flute and bass clarinet to the dissonant yet somehow groovy arrangements, Dolphy takes you on a wild ride through uncharted musical territory. Songs like "G.W." and "245" are like sonic puzzles that both challenge and delight the listener, while tracks like "Les" and "Miss Ann" provide moments of pure melodic beauty.

Dolphy's fearless experimentation and unmatched technical skill make "Outward Bound" a must-listen for any fan of boundary-pushing jazz. While some tracks may veer into the realm of the avant-garde, there's no denying the sheer talent and creativity on display here.

So strap in, dear reader, and prepare to embark on a musical journey unlike any other. "Outward Bound" may not be for the faint of heart, but for those willing to take the plunge, the rewards are endless. Grab your beret and your best pair of jazz hands, and let Dolphy's wild ride sweep you off your feet. Cheers, darlings.

About the artist

Eric Dolphy Quintet

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.
