The record
A double-bass frontline and shifting rhythm crews reveal Dolphy still restless within the changes, moving between alto, bass clarinet, and flute with equal urgency. Cut for Prestige as his vocabulary was expanding fast, it catches the reedman mid-transformation, already reaching past hard bop's edges.
