Eric Dolphy (bass clarinet), Freddie Hubbard (trumpet), Jaki Byard (piano), George Tucker (bass) and Roy Haynes (drums). From the album Outward Bound (1960).
This tune reminds me the sister of a great friend of mine and her partner. They liked jazz very much, they lived jazz. Often they played it and I became ecstatic with that sound deep and extrange of that bass clarinet that only Eric Dolphy knew how to get out. Only he knew how to extract from the instrument that sound so particular. That was something special that I never heard before.
