Our Take

Jolly good day, music aficionados! Today, we've got a real treat for your eardrums in the form of Eric Dolphy's Outward Bound. This avant-garde masterpiece takes jazz to daring new heights, pushing boundaries and tickling our auditory senses in all the right ways.

From the moment the first notes of "G.W." hit your ears, you know you're in for a wild ride. Dolphy's vibrant saxophone playing is like a musical rollercoaster, twisting and turning through complex melodies with an effortless grace. And let's not forget about the rest of the band - they're a tight-knit unit, seamlessly blending together to create a sonic tapestry that is both mesmerising and mind-bending.

Tracks like "245" and "Les" showcase Dolphy's experimental spirit, with frenetic solos and unexpected tempo changes keeping you on your toes throughout. But don't worry, there are moments of stillness too, like on the hauntingly beautiful "Serene," where Dolphy's flute playing transports you to a peaceful place far away from the chaos of everyday life.

In conclusion, Outward Bound is a must-listen for any music lover looking to expand their sonic horizons. Dolphy's fearless approach to jazz will leave you both exhilarated and enlightened, like a musical shot of espresso for the soul. So sit back, relax, and let Eric Dolphy take you on a journey unlike any other. Cheers, old chaps!

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.
