Jason this is probably the best episode you've produced yet. I know this content format and subject matter probably won't bring in the views, but I'm still very glad you're going to do a series of these. Thank you for taking the thoughtful amount of care, research and respect covering Eric Dolphy and this album that it so richly deserves. You've done a fantastic job of providing a very insightful assessment of the beauty, power, and innovation Dolphy, Hutcherson, Hubbard, Davis and Williams put into this music. All of them titans with Dolphy being a multi-instrumentalist marvel. The two biggest tragedies of jazz are losing Clifford Brown and Eric Dolphy far too early in their creative output. Kudos Jason! Great episode.
Thanks so much, Patrick. I'm truly humbled by your kind words. I've been wanting to make some kind of gesture toward Dolphy for months now. This seemed like the right time. Your positive words about this video mean the world to me, and I made it for you and the few others like you that see the value in such a video! Thanks again!!!
Thank you for the nice words! Iron Man is amazing too! Both Iron Man and Conversations feature Bobby Hutcherson prominently as well, as I'm sure you know. So much greatness!
That’s awesome. The Five Spot records and his work with Mingus were some of my first introductions to Dolphy’s music as well. I think that’s a great place to start for most people.
Every time I somewhere see this album I feel I want to buy it ... I own two Out to lunch Lps and 2 Cds ... waiting for buying the japan edition with 2 unreleased tracks (Hat and Beard and Something Sweet Something Tender) - that would be the only rational new buy once owning 1 Lp and 1 Cd... and I'm still dreaming about new unreleased bonus tracks... even false starts, fragments. Ornette Coleman is my favourite musician, but if I had to choose just one album, I'd probably choose this one.
Haha. I know what you mean. I did a shootout of Out To Lunch in another video. At that time I had 4 copies. Now I just have 2: a 45 rpm Music Matters and a 1966 US press. The truth is, this album sounds great pretty much across the board. You can feel confident with an OG, a Japanese press, or a Classic Series and they’re all going to sound good. Thanks so much for your comment! Always happy to meet other people that love this album!

Eric Dolphy is a musical superhero in my book. Excellent episode! I would also add that 'Iron Man' is one of his most standout tracks imo

This is a fantastic video. Thank you. I don't have any Dolphy records. Hope to get at least one copy to enjoy.
Eric Dolphy is brilliant! Nice info!
Agreed! Thank you so much!!!
Personally I got into Dolphy through the five spot recordings and his records with Mingus and George Russell.
That’s awesome. The Five Spot records and his work with Mingus were some of my first introductions to Dolphy’s music as well. I think that’s a great place to start for most people.
Seems like so many of these Jazz Players met their Demise way too Young. Dolphy is Exceptional and Way Way Underrated. Awesome Video!!!
Yeah, too many incredible musicians gone way too soon. Thanks for the nice words, Rod!!!
