Album:
Out to Lunch! (1964)
Written by:
Eric Dolphy
Personnel:
Eric Dolphy - alto saxophone
Freddie Hubbard - trumpet
Bobby Hutcherson - vibraphone
Richard Davis - bass

Easy to see (hear) why he was Zappa's favorite jazz musician.
It's easy to call someone a rip off...
In a sense, Dolphy's a rip off too then, he DID use chords he directly took from Bela Bartok.
What my point comes down to is, there's a difference between ripping off and taking influence from.
Now peace people, let's not start an argument in a jazz comment section
One of the best records ever.... and my favorite ever. I'm not afraid to say it. A recording that's easy to stand by.
Sometimes I'll blast this whole recording in my work area to keep people away😂
LOL will do the same
Bought album in1964...still great in2023
One of the seminal Jazz albums and one of the greatest and most musically intimidating lineups in music history. All these cats were beyond great!
Slowly, year after year, I'm growing up to (and with) this music. It's so diffrent and so haunting. Maybe one day I fully understand this amazing masterpiece.
Eric lives, as well as Tony and Freddie!
Wow...I bought a live 2-CD concert of sir Frank Zappa way back in 1991 (called "The Best Band You've Never Heard in your Life"), and the climax of the concert is called "The Eric Dolphy Memorial Barbecue". I honestly never knew whom Eric Dolphy was until right now! And this intense brass resembles that song (vise versa, of course)! Awesome!
Forty-seven years later,it's still a mind blower!!
A total jazz masterpiece.
My favorite jazz album, along with Andrew Hill's "Point of Departure".
Very nice!
amazing
Absolutely fantastic!
My idol. This setup is incredible

Very good album!
Jose Dias amazing album
Who is the silly individual at my function?
0:06
there is no better jazz then free jazz...
Well Done
great record.
@charvinaldo well for me personally, i enjoy this the more i listen to it, cause after hearing it many times u get to know the melodies of the solos and what not, and are almost able to hum along to them. And also the more u listen to it the more apparent the grooves are, because there are many many underlying deep grooves they somtimes get into, and it takes awhile to really get to know were they are. Sorry if my grammar is alil bad atm, im really tired and cbf
@BebopsHouse that's true, FZ even wrote a song called Eric Dolphy's Memorial Barbeque (as a tribute)
Frank Zappa was very much influenced by Dolphy & Co. Great stuff!
"Who is this silly individual at my function"
4:51 ohmy god
fuckin' riff !!!
Free jazz is a thing of beauty absolutely, but alas beauty is in the ears of the beholder. Virtuosic is probably a good descriptor in this instance but there's a number of good reasons many listeners shy away from, or approach this particular idiom cautiously; it's because virtuosity can be repelling if it's not generally accessible. This is great timeless (and dare I say almost formless;) music but it is not considered accessible by most listeners. Dolphy and these cats, especially Freddie and Tony, are consumate jazz masters sure, but free or avant-garde jazz never found a large audience because it is foremost experimental music never intended to induce mass appeal. Great stuff, but without a pocket or a groove or something to comp over, this becomes rather tiring after a while. Great music but not for most listeners and Dolphy undoubtedly wanted it that way.
At 7:30 cutting mistake ? Or intended ? Advance / reverse eccho of chord.... Strange ! Amazing how well BH fuses into this band.
I think what you're hearing is a short quick glissando on the vibes.
@charvinaldo: Yes, albums like Out There and Far Cry resonate more with me than this one, which delves deeper into Free Jazz--but without entirely abandoning the underpinnings of traditional elements. But with more repeated listenings I've gotten more enthusiastic about this recording and I revel in the details of the individual performances.

Anyone got a transcription of the head?
Any tips or insights on this music? I love jazz, but i'm struggling with this album a little bit. I just can't really get into it. I think of it as "it sounds cool." but it doesn't hit me emotionally. Can someone who just loves this tell me their feeling on it, so maybe i can appreciate it equally?
charvinaldo Bruh... just listen music you enjoy and dont try to force music that you dont understand BITCH
He was being jenuine Kevin. He was asking a sincere question. Your point about not forcing it. However he was not dissing the music.
the thing in this album is that its music emotionally gets out of reach, here you may sense the absence of major-minor sentiments, it gets cerebral, then flees beyond reason into the fully abstract galactical alley zones where life came to existence. The vibraphone is there to remind you of that, you won't be able to capture it.
