1	Out to Lunch (1964) more music like this by Eric Dolphy add to wishlist Out to Lunch stands as Eric Dolphy's magnum opus, an absolute pinnacle of avant-garde jazz in any form or era. Its rhythmic complexity was perhaps unrivaled since Dave Brubeck's Time Out, and its five Dolphy originals -- the jarring Monk tribute "Hat and Beard," the aptly titled "Something Sweet, Something Tender," the weirdly jaunty flute ... see all copies from £4.68! new only from £6.83!
2	Out There (1960) more music like this by Eric Dolphy add to wishlist The follow-up album to Outward Bound, Eric Dolphy's second effort for the Prestige/New Jazz label (and later remastered by Rudy Van Gelder) was equally praised and vilified for many reasons. At a time when the "anti-jazz" tag was being tossed around, Dolphy's nonlinear, harshly harmonic music gave some critics grist for the grinding mill. A second ... see all copies from £7.49! new only from £7.49!
3	Eric Dolphy at the Five Spot, Vol. 2 (1961) more music like this by Eric Dolphy Quintet with Booker Little add to wishlist The second of three CDs that document the Eric Dolphy/Booker Little quintet's playing at the Five Spot (the third volume is titled Memorial Album) and features the group (with pianist Mal Waldron, bassist Richard Davis and drummer Ed Blackwell) really stretching out during long versions of Little's "Aggression" and the standard "Like Someone in ... see all copies from £7.47! new only from £7.47!
4	The Quest (1961) more music like this by Mal Waldron with Eric Dolphy and Booker Ervin add to wishlist Although often reissued under Eric Dolphy's name, this CD reissue gives the leadership back to pianist Mal Waldron. The seven originals not only feature altoist Dolphy (who makes a rare appearance on clarinet during "Warm Canto") but tenor-saxophonist Booker Ervin, Ron Carter (on cello) and Waldron. With bassist Joe Benjamin and drummer Charlie ... see all copies from £7.57! new only from £7.57!
5	Cornell 1964 (2007) more music like this by Charles Mingus Sextet with Eric Dolphy add to wishlist In 2005, Blue Note raised the eyebrows (and expectations) of the jazz world by issuing the previously unreleased Thelonious Monk/John Coltrane Carnegie Hall concert from November of 1957 that literally replaces the few other recordings of the group both sonically and musically. In 2007, courtesy of Charles Mingus' widow Sue, with the help of ... see all copies from £14.26! new only from £14.68!
6	Other Aspects (1962) more music like this by Eric Dolphy add to wishlist Other Aspects is unlike any other title in Eric Dolphy's catalog. The startling 15-minute composition "Jim Crow," recorded in 1962 with an unidentified rhythm section and operatic singer, shows his embracing of 20th century classical composition. Strong Indian influence is heard on 1960's "Improvisations and Tukras," featuring Dolphy's flute mixed ... see all copies from £17.33!
7	Last Date (1964) more music like this by Eric Dolphy add to wishlist Allegedly Eric Dolphy's final recorded performance -- a fact historians roundly dispute -- this session in Hilversum, Holland, teams the masterful bass clarinetist, flutist, and alto saxophonist with a Dutch trio of performers who understand the ways in which their hero and leader modified music in such a unique, passionate, and purposeful way far ... see all copies from £5.61! new only from £5.61!
8	Looking Ahead (1960) more music like this by Ken McIntyre and Eric Dolphy add to wishlist It was quite fitting that Ken McIntyre had an opportunity to record in a quintet with Eric Dolphy, for his multi-instrumental approach was similar to Dolphy's, although he always had a very different sound. On this CD reissue, McIntyre plays alto on four tunes and flute on two others (his work on bassoon, oboe, and bass clarinet would come ... see all copies from £7.56! new only from £7.56!
9	Outward Bound [RVG Edition] (1960) more music like this by Eric Dolphy Quintet add to wishlist Eric Dolphy was already in his thirties when he recorded his first date as a leader, though he had a startling impact as a multi-reed player with a distinctive sound on each of his instruments. Joined by a first-rate group of musicians, including the brilliant pianist Jaki Byard (who also worked along side Dolphy in Charles Mingus' group), the ... see all copies from £7.57! new only from £7.57!
10	The Illinois Concert (1963) more music like this by Eric Dolphy add to wishlist The 1999 discovery of a previously unknown 1963 concert by Eric Dolphy makes it one of the finds of the decade. Taped for broadcast at the University of Illinois at Champaign, it was mentioned in an Eric Dolphy Internet chat room and eventually relayed to producer Michael Cuscuna. The sound is very good, except for overly prominent drums ... see all copies from £8.05! new only from £8.05!
11	Caribe (1960) more music like this by The Latin Jazz Quintet + Eric Dolphy add to wishlist This record is the equivalent of throwing a stick of dynamite into a sedate, well-ordered dinner party, having the dynamite go off with a bang, and somehow leaving everything in its place. Such is the volatile Eric Dolphy, a serious wailer on the alto sax and even more idiosyncratic and radical on the bass clarinet, who barges into the lair of ... see all copies from £7.57! new only from £7.57!
12	Outward Bound (1960) more music like this by Eric Dolphy Quintet add to wishlist This very likable set, Eric Dolphy's first as a leader, has been reissued as a single CD and (along with some alternate takes) on Dolphy's huge The Complete Prestige Recordings box set. Teamed up with the young trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, pianist Jaki Byard, bassist George Tucker, and drummer Roy Haynes, Dolphy introduces his tribute to Gerald ... see all copies from £5.38! new only from £5.38!
13	Prestige Profiles, Vol. 5 (2005) more music like this by Eric Dolphy add to wishlist Prestige Profiles, Vol. 5 contains previously released tracks taken from alto saxophonist and bass clarinetist Eric Dolphy's short stint with the label in the early '60s. The ten tracks, aimed at the casual listener, include the Dolphy-penned classics "G.W.," "Miss Ann," "Far Cry," and "Serene." With Dolphy backed by an extraordinary roster of ... see all copies from £8.37! new only from £8.37!
14	Vintage Dolphy (1986) more music like this by Eric Dolphy add to wishlist This posthumous collection features the remarkable Eric Dolphy in prime form. On three songs, Dolphy (switching between alto, bass clarinet and flute) performs two originals and Jaki Byard's "Ode to Charlie Parker" with a quartet that includes trumpeter Edward Armour, bassist Richard Davis and J.C. Moses. In addition, Dolphy is heard on three ... see all copies from £11.93! new only from £11.93!
15	The Complete Uppsala Concert (2005) more music like this by Eric Dolphy add to wishlist This two-CD set features the remarkable Eric Dolphy (tripling on alto, bass clarinet, and flute) during a concert in Sweden. Accompanied by an obscure but talented rhythm section (pianist Rony Johansson, bassist Kurt Lindgren, and drummer Rune Carlsson), Dolphy really stretches out on five of the seven numbers, particularly during a 2O and-a-half ... see all copies from £11.64! new only from £11.64!
16	Stockholm Sessions [2007 Reissue] (1990) more music like this by Eric Dolphy add to wishlist The music on this CD (the original LP program plus a second version of "Sorino") is taken from a radio aircheck and a TV special, both originating from Stockholm. The remarkable Eric Dolphy (switching between alto, bass clarinet, and flute) performed two of his originals plus "Don't Blame Me" with a sympathetic quartet on the aircheck while the ... see all copies from £12.45! new only from £12.45!
17	Iron Man, Vol. 1 (1963) more music like this by Eric Dolphy add to wishlist see all copies from £7.48! new only from £7.48!
18	Conversations [Fuel 2000] (1963) more music like this by Eric Dolphy add to wishlist In 1963 (probably July, though some sources place the dates in May or June), Eric Dolphy recorded some sessions in New York with producer Alan Douglas, the fruits of which were issued on small labels as the LPs Conversations and Iron Man. They've been reissued a number of times on various labels, occasionally compiled together, but never with ... see all copies from £9.52! new only from £9.52!
19	Softly, As in a Morning Sunrise (1961) more music like this by Eric Dolphy add to wishlist This CD has a very interesting lineup of musicians: Eric Dolphy (sticking to bass clarinet throughout), pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Reggie Workman and drummer Mel Lewis. Dolphy was actually touring with the John Coltrane Quintet (of which Tyner and Workman were a part) at the time, and apparently Elvin Jones had passport problems, so Lewis subbed ... see all copies from £5.14! new only from £9.75!
20	Memorial Album (1961) more music like this by Eric Dolphy Quintet with Booker Little add to wishlist Despite its generic name, this is really the third volume of music that dates from one night in the short-lived and legendary Eric Dolphy Quintet with Booker Little. Recorded live at the Five Spot with pianist Mal Waldron, bassist Richard Davis, and drummer Ed Blackwell, this CD reissue consists of two fairly lengthy renditions of Eric Dolphy ... see all copies from £9.34! new only from £9.34!
21	Outward Bound [US Bonus Tracks] (1960) more music like this by Eric Dolphy Quintet add to wishlist This very likable set, Eric Dolphy's first as a leader, has been reissued as a single CD (along with some alternate takes) and on Dolphy's huge Prestige box set. Teamed up with the young trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, pianist Jaki Byard, bassist George Tucker. and drummer Roy Haynes, Dolphy introduces his tribute to Gerald Wilson, "G.W.," and rips ... see all copies from £34.46! new only from £34.46!
22	Complete Recordings [Eric Dolphy Quartet with Herbie Hanckock] (2004) more music like this by Eric Dolphy add to wishlist see all copies from £9.86! new only from £9.86!
23	Night Cap Jazz [Direct Source] (2000) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from £3.11!
24	Music Matador (Jazz Hour) (1998) more music like this by Eric Dolphy add to wishlist In the spring of 1963, in the last full year of his life, Eric Dolphy recorded nine tracks in New York with producer Alan Douglas. Working with an ensemble that was mixed and matched in different configurations and included Prince Lasha on flute, Clifford Jordan on soprano sax, Woody Shaw on trumpet, Huey Simmons on alto sax, Bobby Hutcherson on ... see all copies from £8.88! new only from £8.88!
25	Original Jazz Classics Collection (1960) more music like this by Eric Dolphy add to wishlist It's hard to fathom the reason that the Original Jazz Classics label is bothering with this series of compilations. While it's true that some artists issued a lot of material on Riverside, New Jazz, Prestige, Contemporary, et al. -- all labels that fall under the rubric of the OJC series -- jazz fans tend to be hardcore collectors when it comes to ... see all copies from £3.13! new only from £3.13!
