Eric Dolphy
Eric Dolphy's profound impact on jazz might have been even greater had he lived past 38. A major force on alto sax, flute, and bass clarinet, Dolphy performed and recorded with such leading musicians as Charles Mingus, John Coltrane, and Ornette Coleman, and he also recorded several landmark albums as a leader. Perhaps his most significant recording as a leader is the landmark 1964 album OUT TO LUNCH, an avant-garde jazz statement that stood at the vanguard of the '60s "new thing" movement. Although he is sometimes associated with the free-jazz movement, his style is perhaps best described as a radical extension of bebop, but it defies category.
