Out to Lunch Poster
2009 marks the 70th anniversary of Blue Note Records which is home to the finest jazz and is synonymous with the cool hard-bop sound of '60s New York. Blue Note is proud to offer this unique Official Collectors T-Shirt and Vinyl in a stunning presentation box which features the iconic artwork of designer Reid Miles.
With four of the brightest innovative talents in New York (Freddie Hubbard, Bobby Hutcherson, Richard Davis and Tony Williams) and five startling, diverse originals, saxophonist Eric Dolphy's last studio recording made the greatest and most adventurous album of his career for Blue Note which explores the inner and outer edges of music.
Eric Dolphy was among the most daring, impassioned and technically assured improvisers to come of age in the 1960s. From his groundbreaking work with Chico Hamilton and Charles Mingus, through his catalytic stint with John Coltrane, and all through his brilliant solo recordings for Prestige, this reed innovator defined the best elements of the swing and the bebop traditions, from Benny Carter through Bird, while extending on the rhythmic, melodic, and harmonic freedom of Monk. Dolphy is an emotional shaman with a keen comic edge, such as the rhythmic sauntering, drunken gait of his theme to "Straight Up and Down," and Monk's influence is clearly discernible in Dolphy's witty dissonances and vocalized blues phrasing throughout Out to Lunch (his only Blue Note recording, completed shortly before his untimely death). Rhythm masters Richard Davis, Bobby Hutcherson, and Tony Williams suspend time at will, sculpting in open space, while deconstructing the harmony and superimposing cubist rhythmic displacements--periodically regrouping around Freddie Hubbard's bumblebee trumpet and the leader's vocalized bass clarinet(his Monkish "Hat and Beard"), wailing alto (the martial parodies of the title tune), and exhilarating flute (the lyric, swinging "Gazzelloni"). Out to Lunch represents Dolphy's most fully realized vision. --Chip Stern
