Eric Dolphy • Other Aspects

 

Review
by Al Campbell
Other Aspects is unlike any other title in Eric Dolphy's catalog. The startling 15-minute composition "Jim Crow," recorded in 1962 with an unidentified rhythm section and operatic singer, shows his embracing of 20th century classical composition. Strong Indian influence is heard on 1960's "Improvisations and Tukras," featuring Dolphy's flute mixed with tabla and tamboura. The final three pieces were also recorded in 1960: "Inner Flight 1 and 2" are solo flute pieces, while "Dolphy'n" is a collaboration with bassist Ron Carter featuring Dolphy on alto. This music remained in the private collection of Dolphy's friend Hale Smith until the recordings were handed over to Blue Note in 1985. While Other Aspects is fascinating, and in its own way essential, it should be one of the final discs obtained for your Dolphy library.

Reseña
por Al Campbell
Other Aspects no se parece a ningún otro título del catálogo de Eric Dolphy. La sorprendente composición de 15 minutos "Jim Crow", grabada en 1962 con una sección rítmica no identificada y un cantante de ópera, muestra su adopción de la composición clásica del siglo XX. En "Improvisations and Tukras", de 1960, se percibe una fuerte influencia india, con la flauta de Dolphy mezclada con tabla y tamboura. Las tres últimas piezas también se grabaron en 1960: "Inner Flight 1 and 2" son piezas para flauta sola, mientras que "Dolphy'n" es una colaboración con el bajista Ron Carter en la que Dolphy toca el alto. Esta música permaneció en la colección privada de Hale Smith, amigo de Dolphy, hasta que las grabaciones pasaron a Blue Note en 1985. Aunque "Other Aspects" es fascinante, y a su manera esencial, debería ser uno de los últimos discos obtenidos para su biblioteca Dolphy.
