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.
