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.

Carlos Julian –
Though it may seem mild in comparison to some of his later work, Outward Bound is essential Dolphy not only because it’s his debut, but also because it’s one of the last times the juxtaposition of his avant-garde leanings and hard-bop origins is so easily evident. This session brings together a handful of the greatest musicians to ever play their respective instruments, and it’s more than a little coincidence that, when placed in the same environment for a common purpose, there was an extra affinity and edge that they evoked, seemingly in unison. the nothing.
If you’ve never experienced the joy that is Eric Dolphy, there’s no better place to start, as this is where it all officially began. There is no doubt that Eric Dolphy deserves to be mentioned among the all-time immortals of jazz music.
