An LP a day - for no other reason than I love my records - No.68
Eric Dolphy. Out to Lunch
As jazz moved to a freer style there was a period when it pushed at the boundaries of jazz's 'rules' but while bending them, stayed within them (just) producing some fascinating music - this LP is a key example of that moment.
Standout tracks:
Hat & Beard - an off-centre trinity to Thelonous Monk;
Straight up & down - if you're not sure, perhaps start with this less 'challenging' piece
