Born in L.A. ....Died in Berlin , Germany , multi-instrumentalist . Died at 36 . Blows me away how Uber talented guy dies so young and isn't recognized in the US .
I only discovered Eric Dolphy through Frank Zappa's piece, The Eric Dolphy Memorial Barbecue. After all the beautiful music Frank gave me during my lifetime, he also turned me on to one of the giants of jazz.
As someone pretty new to Dolphy, it feels to me like the bass clarinet is sort of a clarinet and sax merged magically together--and at times with a didgeridoo as well!
My favorite dolphy album. A great chordal melodic player like hancock kept dolphy grounded, and eddie kahn and jc moses strong, rhythmic and propulsive.
This rendition of "$oftly as in a morning sunrise" is one of the greatest improvisational outings in musical history!!!!! 🌄 This music can heal you in so many ways. Feel it in your conciousness 369 ⚛️
hancocks solo is so smooth, perfectly on the edge between in and out. master of motific interest and development. and playing with the band esp the drummer. . .
This is so therapeutic after being exposed to a genre like Rap or some other mish mash that is noise but practically never musical like this is. I know nothing about the formation of this wonderful sound other than the fact that I really like it. It wasn't always so. To think that there was a time when I didn't have the proper appreciation for something like this means that I am living proof that people can and do change. I only wish that it hadn't taken me so long.
I always did think the same but then I realise that it has no sentece that nostalgic mood and it's better just enjoying our selfes and try to create new awsome music
I wholeheartedly agree with you. As an infant younger than 6 months, I must say jazz of this century simply doesn't push the same boundaries as the music of yesteryear.
Dolphy mined Lydian concept territories with 3 outrageous albums: Outward Bound (1960), Out There (1960) and Out to Lunch (1964). Dolphy isn't for the faint hearted. His work with George Russell on Ezz-thetics is very accessible though.
Man, time ought to just give up on trying to catch up with Eric. He had a head because he's beginningless and time will tire out because Eric's endless!
What unbridled humility is this? Your here listening to it, you were anyway. You've admitted you're "attracted to" it. And then you throw the classic, "such stuff" at it. You don't like it Tommyfazz, you love it! As do all of us, welcome aboard.
@Juan Ignacio Caino I was just saying the same thing. He influenced a lot of music also out of jazz boundaries and not just because he invented a fertile approach to bass clarinet...
Dolphy was a wild man. That technique, that drive and imagination. It would very interesting to hear Herbie say something about what it was like playing with Eric in contrast with playing with Miles. I somehow can't imagine Miles on the same stage with Eric - in my mind I just couldn't make it work. It sounded to me here, like Herbie was having a ball. Tony Williams worked with Eric; so did Ron Carter, but somehow I simply cannot imagine Miles and Eric together. Miles had some disparaging things to say about Eric, but that was just Miles being Miles. I think that together on stage, Eric would've totally dominated Miles, and Miles would've hated it. In any case, Eric played with all of Miles' rhythm section but not at the same time. And while I think that Herbie, Tony and Ron with Eric would've been hair-raising, for me some of the best moments in recorded jazz was Dolphy with Mingus and Danny Richmond, and Jaki Byard; those European concerts shortly before Eric died are unearthly.
I think it's understated how impressionist Dolphys influences are, but he taps into underexplored elements of it, like Ravel's sometimes explostive dissonance and off centre time feel. It balances out the pretty and watery arpeggios and melodic brightness. But alltogether it sounds like surrealist blues.
So funny seeing you commenting on all these tracks, the community that loves this stuff is going strong as ever. I love your work, I'm gonna listen to Out There now to hear your great cello work. Peace
it's nominally a swing rhythm, but listen at 9:00 and 15:29 on (bass boost, less treble to mute the cymbals) to the snare/bass drum hits, it's a 4 on the floor ROCK BEAT (syncopated,sophisticated, , as with all good "jazz", EVERYTHING is in there, the polyrhythms, Calypso, proto N.O. funk, RnB, latin, swing all mixed adaptable, interchangeable) Bassist and Herbie are supporting the feel. Maybe Miles came to their show and 4 or 5 years later " invented" fusion rock jazz.This rhythm section should get the credit, maybe?
Was a big fan of Dolphy , albums I bought included " Outward Bound , Mingus Presents , Out to Lunch ' At the Five Spot 3 discs " with George Russell , Oliver Nelson . So its obvious that Iam not a one disc wonder. But I wouldn't waste money buying this , Its not what I call Jazz .
I have just realised this concert was recorded at the University of Illinois, Champaign, IL. Was it recorded at the Assembly Hall (now known as the State Farm Center) that opened on March 2, 1963? Anyway, I was late by about 20 years to catch this gig. ha!

+TFP 3141 That's what I meant by B Natural. Free, almost a little Thelonious, purposeful dissonance extended chords. I just played along with it and I find there are some Eflat 7th add 9 chords and movement around them. If I wanted to play this ( I'm a guitarist) I would attempt to get the feel for it and them improvise on similar chords and extend them for tension. I believe you are right this is definitely a free jazz thing but what else can you do with Eric? Have you heard his solo on Take the A train with Mingus? Other worldly.
Thanks for the info, do you know if this is a modal thing or what? I often have difficulty getting the harmonies with Miles' Second Quintet and all that, do you have a particular approach for figuring out harmonies? And yeah, that was a killer solo on A Train, he was really going somewhere else, love his tone on the bass clarinet.
+TFP 3141 No, it's not modal, it's DOLPHYdal. It's his feeling and his soul pattern on it, and nothing more to be figured out. That does not minimize the power, but it relieves us of the intellectual habit of having to place it into current theory. It's a human working that sound machine, that horn. Often, these things are better felt than told, than describe, than captured, than measured. Forget the chords, forget the notes ... HEAR THE HEART SCREAMING AT THE WORLD. Baby souls, we are.
Born in L.A. ....Died in Berlin , Germany , multi-instrumentalist . Died at 36 . Blows me away how Uber talented guy dies so young and isn't recognized in the US .
But the people who do recognize him idolize him.
I was at the concert back in 1963. It was performed in Smith Hall.
I only discovered Eric Dolphy through Frank Zappa's piece, The Eric Dolphy Memorial Barbecue. After all the beautiful music Frank gave me during my lifetime, he also turned me on to one of the giants of jazz.
I never knew Herbie played with Eric..... awesome.
neitherdidI.
Kept eric grounded.
neither did I
Juan Ignacio Caino nice touch at young age
😎😎😎👀
Eric Dolphy's musical prowess bordered on the supernatural damn near.
Dolphy was a giant, at par with the best ones, his perfect tone and his creativity always give me shivers of joy
Wow. My two favorite jazz musicians, Dolphy AND Hancock, TOGETHER! Powerful stuff.
such stuff dreams are made of...
Buenísimos.
Buenísimos.
.
Hancock... Si , Dolphy.... También 😂
The Genius of Dolphy ! ... one of my favorites
The other 'Bird'.
Everybody must know this recording and Dolphy time with Herbie Hancock, hidden gems, RIP maestro💞
Eric Dolphy is one of my very favorite musicians ever ...
That is some killer bass clarinet
As someone pretty new to Dolphy, it feels to me like the bass clarinet is sort of a clarinet and sax merged magically together--and at times with a didgeridoo as well!
this is painfully good and needs a proper release on vinyl
But meanwhile we have youtube!
@@lukehauser1182 TH-cam is now on vinyl. Anytime. Anywhere. You don't even need a record player.
Eric at his best! Herbie with beautiful piano work!
I love the sounds of the bass clarinet... such an expressive instrument!
This is the music that takes you places....listen!!!!
My favorite dolphy album. A great chordal melodic player like hancock kept dolphy grounded, and eddie kahn and jc moses strong, rhythmic and propulsive.
9:43-12:45 says it all! Simply mesmerizing!!!! The chordal melodies with the syncopated rhythmic pocket!
What a Head noddin’ groove!!!
Dah one ya, ah swing, hard 🔎🎵🔍
This is the Truth!!!!!!
ERIC is out to lunch and he aim never comin back!
Love you Big Dog!
J.C. Moses is just killin' it!
Vastly underated!!!
I know right. He elevates the whole affair and the telepathic interactions between him and Herbie are a delight to listen to.
This rendition of "$oftly as in a morning sunrise" is one of the greatest improvisational outings in musical history!!!!! 🌄 This music can heal you in so many ways. Feel it in your conciousness 369 ⚛️
Eric Dolphy and Herbert Hancock ..a great combo....jazz lives on....
Awesome performance. Eric Dolphy at his best. This my favorite and I think Herbie Hancock's Best Ever solo!
My favorite dolphy album too. Hancock, kahn and j.c. !!...check out charles lloyds " discovery" album on columbia with kahn, j.c. and don friedman !!
YEOIWWW! I wish I could be so free and light.
hancocks solo is so smooth, perfectly on the edge between in and out. master of motific interest and development. and playing with the band esp the drummer. . .
Eric and Herbie at their best!!!
Beautiful album thanks so much for posting this. Eric Dolphy was a true genius of his craft.
Fucking Genius!!!! one of the best hard bopping free jazzing modernish punkish jazz records of all times!!! I would love to hear something similar!
Le travail de Herbie Hancock derrière chaque solo est incroyable .
This is so therapeutic after being exposed to a genre like Rap or some other mish mash that is noise but practically never musical like this is.

What a combination!
eric dolphy & herbie hancock eddie kahn j.c. ,moses.. sofly in a morning sunrise.. live at champaign , il 1963.
i'm only 4 and i love this music. I wish i was born of this era as I am not satisfied with contemporary jazz unfortunately, smh.
I always did think the same but then I realise that it has no sentece that nostalgic mood and it's better just enjoying our selfes and try to create new awsome music
Man, you are extremely articulate for 4 years old! :)
I wholeheartedly agree with you. As an infant younger than 6 months, I must say jazz of this century simply doesn't push the same boundaries as the music of yesteryear.
I expect to be born sometime in 2025 and look forward to the nostalgia that my grandchildren have told me I will experience.
Dolphy mined Lydian concept territories with 3 outrageous albums: Outward Bound (1960), Out There (1960) and Out to Lunch (1964). Dolphy isn't for the faint hearted. His work with George Russell on Ezz-thetics is very accessible though.
also "Far Cry" with Booker Little.
@@megisynynef2224 far cry is one of my favorite records by dolphy. It's a great display of his versatility
Thanks. WILL investigate...
Xs z, hi ye
A master and his horn so bold,fresh and venturesome. King Dolphy
closest encounters of an infinite kind.
Never heard this. Great stuff
THANK YOU
This reminds me of the cover album of John Coltrane Quartet Plays :)
Thanks for Posting
Mind blowing.
Después de este concierto, de lo que dejó dicho Dolphy: catedra inmortal e Illinois salvada para siempre!!!!
It sounds like a singing duck, and I mean that in a very good way! :-)
His bassclarinet ruled!
giants at work
Man, time ought to just give up on trying to catch up with Eric. He had a head because he's beginningless and time will tire out because Eric's endless!
2 Palabras: Wonderful y Masterful.
Stuff I have no knowledge nor understanding of but I am attracted to; and I don't even know if I like it. Such stuff.
such is the stuff of the beginning of wisdom my friend.
You know you like it.
I am sure you are going to love it
feel.period

Still fresh.
Eric Dolphy invented the "Jazz" Bass Clarinet
@Juan Ignacio Caino I was just saying the same thing. He influenced a lot of music also out of jazz boundaries and not just because he invented a fertile approach to bass clarinet...
I love Eric!
Great Eric❤
OH! This is just soooo GOOD!!!

going no where but here

This is free as the wind
Waiting waiting for the head. A couple of times Dolphy sounded like he was headed that way but Herbie didn't bite. Hmm
🙏🏾🙏🏾

I love your work, I'm gonna listen to Out There now to hear your great cello work.

They don't make them like this anymore. The Cats are steaming, piping hot!!!!
Herbie and Eric at their best!\
Eric haciendo lo suyo.
that drumming though....mmmmm
snare is pretty heavy , could also be the way the drums were recorded.
Hey, lay off the drummer man! He's workin'.
@@barno01 j.c. moses was a scary drummer. Loved his concept. Eddie and j.c. were great together. Charles lloyd had them on his "discovery" album.
@@daveferris2709 snare is far too loud in relation to the test of the kit..it's the recording I think
Eric was also great together with Coltrane. One year later he died 36y old, sadly. And Herbie Hancock Herbie Hancock Herbie Hancock
Bass Clarinet seems to range from Bass to Soprano. Wide as the Earth!
Killer drummer .
Wow!
pax wallace, helluvagun both within this conversation- something to hold about
Burning 🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏
Eric Dolphy es un fuera de serie, Genial, Dios que bueno es!!! Admirable!!!

Great ! Thanks for posting, rujazzka .
The drumming really grounds the space for the others to range way out. I would be happy if more free jazz kept a steady pace like J. C. Moses.
Iybya Paul Thompson, you hear this, this is what you schooled me about.
7:36 ... Herbie starts to solo.
3yahweh3 why skip a second of this?
Wow.
Was a big fan of Dolphy , albums I bought included " Outward Bound , Mingus Presents , Out to Lunch ' At the Five Spot 3 discs " with George Russell , Oliver Nelson . So its obvious that Iam not a one disc wonder. But I wouldn't waste money buying this , Its not what I call Jazz .

Softly indeed..

What's going on harmonically with this rendition?
+TFP 3141 I think they are in B natural.
+Ken Diggins But what's going on with the chords? Same harmony? Herbie's playing makes it sound really "free" or something.
+TFP 3141 That's what I meant by B Natural. Free, almost a little Thelonious, purposeful dissonance extended chords.

Forget the chords, forget the notes ... HEAR THE HEART SCREAMING AT THE WORLD. Baby souls, we are.
I loved every note, but the bass solo summarized what Herbie and Mr. Dolphy did biefore Him
