In 1960, the free jazz pioneered by Ornette Coleman, Cecil Taylor, Horace Tapscott and a very few others was rejected by many musicians and most listeners. For the visionary saxophonist, clarinetist and flutist Eric Dolphy, it was simply new music fed by the mainstream, a logical extension of the jazz tradition. In Out There without leaving form behind, he incorporated the spirit of adventure and abandon with which free jazz at its best infused freshness into jazz. Recording with a pianoless quartet that used Ron Carter's cello as the other melody instrument, Dolphy worked from chord patterns developed within structures that depart from ordinary 32-bar jazz and popular song forms. He used 30-bar, 35-bar and 18-bar structures, but he also observed standard practice with 12-bar blues, "Serene." Dolphy's speech-like improvisations and Carter's bowed or plucked cello solos soar over the impeccable and responsive accompaniments of bassist George Duvivier and drummer Roy Haynes.
Free jazz, introduced by pioneers such as Ornette Coleman, Cecil Taylor or Horace Tapscott, was still rejected by most musicians and listeners in 1960. For the visionary saxophonist, clarinetist and flutist Eric Dolphy, on the other hand, it was simply new music fed by the mainstream - a logical extension of the jazz tradition. With his three albums released in 1960, including "Out There", Dolphy became one of the most talked-about jazz musicians of his time, influencing numerous colleagues.
Alongside Dolphy are Ron Carter on cello, George Duvivier on bass and Roy Haynes on drums. We recommend using "L'Art du Son" LP cleaner for wet washing your vinyl. New panels from high-quality production also benefit from this once again.
