Eric Dolphy's surprise-packed phrasing and supple tone are among the most instantly recognisable in jazz. Those qualities allowed him to help fulfil the vision of many bandleaders while making his own statements. His buoyant bass clarinet adds tartness to John Coltrane's meditative staple “India”, while his fleetly cutting alto saxophone adds some pulse-quickening grit to an elegant take on “Afternoon in Paris” by pianist John Lewis.
