Dolphy, Eric
The Quintessence Los Angeles- New York-copenhagen 1949
"Raised in the ranks of Californian bop, the gifted multi-instrumentalist Eric Dolphy brought a fresh breath into the most diverse contexts. A tireless "bridge-builder" toward a different realm of jazzfreer, and one he helped magnificently to open uphe stands as a profoundly sincere, principled, and generous artist. Here, he reveals the many facets of his art: the raw emotion of beauty laid bare. Jean-Paul RICARD "
