[TR24][OF] Eric Dolphy Quintet featuring Freddie Hubbard - Outward Bound - 1960/2014 (Hard Bop)

Eric Dolphy has sometimes been described as an iconoclast, but in Outward Bound, he was not overturning his idol, Charlie Parker; he was building on Bird’s legacy. So deep was Dolphy’s musicianship, so free his imagination, that he enchanted trailblazers like John Coltrane and Charles Mingus. Partnering in this collection with the brilliant trumpeter Freddie Hubbard and a stunning rhythm section, Dolphy is at a peak of energy and creativity on alto saxophone, bass clarinet, and flute. He and Hubbard work with empathy reminiscent of the young Parker and Dizzy Gillespie. Pianist Jaki Byard, bassist George Tucker, and drummer Roy Haynes were ideal accompanists and co-conspirators in this widely influential work. This edition of Outward Bound contains two alternate takes and “April Fool,” a piece not on the original album.
On this album you will hear Eric playing alto sax, bass clarinet and flute. He also plays tenor sax. When we asked Eric about his early career on the West Coast he was quick to express his gratitude to the people who had taken an interest in his career. If you think the young jazz musician doesn’t get any encouragement from the experienced guys, you would do well to listen to Eric. The effect on us when the group went into the first take at the session is difficult to describe. The number was “G.W.,” written by Eric in 1957 as a tribute to Gerald Wilson. Our immediate thoughts were that these five amazing musicians were right at that moment adding a new dimension to modern jazz.
