Ken McIntyre & Eric Dolphy • Looking Ahead

Review by Scott Yanow

It was quite fitting that Ken McIntyre had an opportunity to record in a quintet with Eric Dolphy, for his multi-instrumental approach was similar to Dolphy's, although he always had a very different sound. On this CD reissue, McIntyre plays alto on four tunes and flute on two others (his work on bassoon, oboe, and bass clarinet would come slightly later), while Dolphy mostly plays alto but doubles on flute on one number and switches to bass clarinet for "Dianna." With pianist Walter Bishop, Jr., bassist Sam Jones, and drummer Art Taylor offering concise solos and swinging support, McIntyre somehow almost holds his own with Dolphy on a variety of originals and George Gershwin's "They All Laughed." A very interesting date.

Reseña de Scott Yanow

Fue muy apropiado que Ken McIntyre tuviera la oportunidad de grabar en un quinteto con Eric Dolphy, ya que su enfoque multi-instrumental era similar al de Dolphy, aunque siempre tuvo un sonido muy diferente. En este CD reeditado, McIntyre toca alto en cuatro temas y flauta en otros dos (su trabajo en fagot, oboe y clarinete bajo vendría un poco más tarde), mientras que Dolphy toca sobre todo alto pero dobla en flauta en un número y cambia a clarinete bajo para "Dianna". Con el pianista Walter Bishop, Jr., el bajista Sam Jones y el baterista Art Taylor ofreciendo solos concisos y apoyo de swinging, McIntyre casi se las arregla con Dolphy en una variedad de originales y "They All Laughed" de George Gershwin. Una cita muy interesante.
