We play compositions by Eric Dolphy three days after what would have been his 97th birthday. As one of the unique and creative players of his time—from the late '50s to the mid-'60s—our goal is to have fun with the tunes and explore the spirit and distinct logic of one of Black music’s most insistent artists.
Eric Dolphy was a warm hearted, generous, explorative, humble yet visionary musician. As a teen Dolphy practiced alongside birds in his back yard in California, after picking up a variety of wind instruments. His unique playing style found home in the bands of Charles Mingus, John Coltrane, Abbey Lincoln and George Russell. Dolphy died of a diabetic shock in West-Berlin in 1964, at the age of 36, being misdiagnosed with a drug-overdose and put aside by doctors.
