Rare European material from Eric Dolphy -- presented here on DVD for the first time ever! The core program features Dolphy on alto and bass clarinet, working with the Charles Mingus Sextet in Stockholm in April of 1964. The material was recorded in a pre-concert rehearsal -- and features two versions of "So Long Eric", and a long take on "Meditations" -- played by a group that features Clifford Jordan on tenor, Johnny Coles on trumpet, and Jaki Byard on piano -- all with an image quality that's surprisingly great! Added to these is one more bonus track -- "I'll Remember April" -- recorded during Mingus' famous 1960 appearance at the Antibes Jazz Festival -- with Dolphy on alto, plus Ted Curson on trumpet, Booker Ervin on tenor, and Bud Powell on piano.
This Eric Dolphy release (like its companion volume IJ 511) marks an essential addition to the incomparable reedman's discography, as it contains two of the rare occasions in which Dolphy was captured on film. Both of these clips feature Dolphy performing with the Charles Mingus Sextet. The first shows Dolphy in a rehearsal with the band (filmed the day after the Oslo concert presented on IJ 511), which explains the inclusion of two different takes of Mingus' "So Long Eric". For the rehearsal's second tune, the band begins playing Mingus' composition, "Meditations". A brief false start, however, leads to a short conversation Between Mingus and Dolphy. The bassist can be heard here asking Dolphy what he is planning to do after the tour. Sadly, Eric Dolphy died in Berlin from undiagnosed diabetes on June 29 of that same year, nine days after his 36th birthday. Following their brief chat, the group performs a nearly 20-minute extended version of "Meditations". |
