In his tragically short life (1928-1964), Eric Dolphy was a titanic
force in the development of the sixties avant-garde (or "new
thing") from the hard bop of the late fifties. The searing
intensity and sonic exploration of his work on alto sax, clarinets,
and flute derived in part from the concurrent innovations of
Coltrane, Mingus, Ornette Coleman, Cecil Taylor, and Andrew Hill,
among others; previous jazz styles such as New Orleans and bop;
various non-Western musics; and modern classical music (e.g.,
Varese). Dolphy pioneered extended solo jazz compositions, was
prominent in the "third stream" movement (led by John Lewis and
Gunther Schuller), and remains a major influence on musicians today
for the personal, speech-like inflections of his playing. Jazz
scholars Simosko and Tepperman examine every aspect of this
stunning musical achievement from Dolphy's early big band work and
association with Chico Hamilton to his own last groups in Europe,
emphasizing the rich legacy of his recordings. Now completely
updated to include the most recent discoveries concerning his life
and recordings, this book will long stand as the definitive
treatment of Eric Dolphy's music.
