non-BN STUDIO dates, first released 20 years or more after recorded


Recommended Posts

There are a number of Contemporary sessions that remained on the shelves for many years:

Courtis Counce - Sonority (although that's more a compilation of leftovers, recorded 1956-58, released 1989)

Hampton Hawes - Bird Song (unreleased trio date with Paul Chambers and Larance Marable from 1956, released 1999)

some of the Art Pepper sessions? I don't have details ... and a Helen Humes?

There should be more ...

There are more Candid LPs besides the great Lucky thompson session that were released only in the 1980's due to the label's bankruptcy:

I was going to mention those, but I thought they'd come out on LP briefly in America. Didn't read the sleeve notes when looking through the CDs :)

OK, I'm not always in the mood for this one. But I do think it is fascinating...

Other Aspects

Yes, released on Blue Note -- but my memory is that they were all private recordings that Eric had made, which were in his possession (later his family's), not seeing the light of day until this CD (in the late 80's).

The 15-minute composition"Jim Crow" is powerful stuff (with an operatic soprano, no less). "Improvisations and Tukras" (with traditional Indian (India) instruments) is curious and interesting (at least once, if admittedly not so much for repeated spins). And the solo flute tracks were and are always welcome in my book (I've always thought Dolphy was a stunning flute player).

Not the most important Dolphy date in anybody's collection, but a real honest curiosity, in a good way.
