Our Take

Eric Dolphy's Outward Bound is a mesmerizing journey through the avant-garde jazz world, with Dolphy at the helm steering us through uncharted waters. The album kicks off with the frenetic "G.W.," a whirlwind of saxophone and flute that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Dolphy's virtuosity is on full display here, as he effortlessly weaves in and out of complex time signatures and daring improvisations.

Tracks like "Les" and "245" showcase Dolphy's adventurous spirit, with intricate melodies and daring solos that keep the listener on the edge of their seat. The standout track, however, has to be "Miss Ann," a hauntingly beautiful ballad that lingers long after the final note has faded.

Dolphy's bandmates also deserve a mention, with Freddie Hubbard's trumpet and Jaki Byard's piano adding layers of complexity and depth to the already rich tapestry of sound. The interplay between the musicians is nothing short of mesmerizing, with each player pushing the boundaries of their instrument to create something truly special.

Overall, Outward Bound is a triumph of avant-garde jazz, with Dolphy proving once again why he is considered one of the greats of the genre. This album is not for the faint of heart, but for those willing to take the plunge, the rewards are truly staggering. Dive in and let Dolphy take you on a wild, exhilarating ride through the outer limits of jazz. Verdict: 9.2
