Artist:
Eric Dolphy
Title:
In Europe 1961-1964



Details:
75 min. All regions. Two of the rare occasions on which Eric Dolphy was captured on film are released here on DVD for the first time ever with pristine image And sound quality. The first clip was shot for a TV performance given by Eric's quintet with Benny Bailey on trumpet in Berlin in 1961 - the same year Dolphy also participated in a series of performances as a member of John Coltrane's quartet (one of which was also filmed in Germany And has become quite well known). When this concert was first planned Dolphy's quintet was to be the main attraction. However the organizers became uncertain of the audience response to Dolphy's advanced jazz And decided to open the show with two more traditional acts (Humphrey Lyttelton And US singer Billie Poole). Dolphy's performance was limited to a relatively short final segment. However his complete show is included here including a poignant And free reading of Billie Holiday's "God Bless the Child" which he plays unaccompanied. The second part of this DVD presents a complete performance by the Charles Mingus Sextet filmed in Oslo in April 1964 - featuring Dolphy Charlie Mingus Clifford Jordan Johnny Coles
