paul secor Posted December 22, 2005 Report Posted December 22, 2005 December 21: 1960 - Eric Dolphy (Booker Little, Jaki Byard, Ron Carter, Roy Haynes) record session for New Jazz (Far Cry) 1960 - Ornette Coleman (Don Cherry, Freddie Hubbard, Eric Dolphy, Charlie Haden, Scott LaFaro, Eddie Blackwell, Billy Higgins) record session for Atlantic (Free Jazz) Interesting to see that Eric Dolphy recorded both his own Far Cry LP and on Ornette's Free Jazz session on the same day. The notes for Beauty Is a Rare thing list the Free Jazz session as 12:30 AM, so he evidently recorded at Van Gelder's later in the day. Quite a day's work (or play). Quote
Guest Posted December 22, 2005 Report Posted December 22, 2005 "free jazz" was recorded after midnight? that make sense. do you think RVG will ever publish an autobiography of some sort- it would be intersting to hear his memories or certain recording dates like this. Quote
brownie Posted December 22, 2005 Report Posted December 22, 2005 Actually, the Free Jazz session started at 8PM and went on to 12.30AM according to this Eric DolphyDiscography. With the 'Far Cry' session being held earlier in the day! Quite a day for Eric Dolphy, indeed! Quote
