Eric Dolphy at the Five Spot is a pair of live albums by the jazz musician and composer Eric Dolphy. They were released in December 1961 (Volume 1) and November 1963 (Volume 2) by Prestige Records. They were recorded on the night of 16 July 1961 at the end of Dolphy's two-week residency, alongside trumpeter Booker Little, at the Five Spot jazz club in New York. It was the only night to be recorded. The engineer was Rudy Van Gelder.
Dolphy's composition "The Prophet" is a tribute to the artist Richard "Prophet" Jennings, who had designed the covers of Dolphy's earlier albums, Outward Bound and Out There.
In an AllMusic review of volume 1, Michael G. Nastos stated that Dolphy's group had "developed into a role model for all progressive jazz combos to come" - Wikipedia

Far Cry is the third album by jazz musician Eric Dolphy, released in 1962 on New Jazz (a subsidiary of the Prestige label.) Featuring a quintet co-led with trumpeter Booker Little, it is one of the few recordings of their partnership....
The authors of The Penguin Jazz Guide noted that Far Cry "marks the first recorded appearance of Dolphy's most celebrated composition, 'Miss Ann', a delightful 14-bar theme that he was to play until the end of his life", and describe Dolphy's performance of "Tenderly" as "an astonishing, unaccompanied alto solo, a piece of work that bridges Coleman Hawkins's pioneering 'Picasso' and Dolphy's own later solo bass clarinet excursions on 'God Bless The Child', except that here the tune is still very much in evidence. Some have suggested that he was influenced by Sonny Rollins's unaccompanied 'Body And Soul', recorded two years earlier." - Wikipedia

Percussion Bitter Sweet is an album by jazz drummer Max Roach recorded in 1961, released on Impulse! Records.
Review by Scott Yanow
A classic album, and one of the finest of drummer Max Roach's very productive career. The illustrious sidemen (trumpeter Booker Little; trombonist Julian Priester; Eric Dolphy on alto, bass clarinet, and flute; tenorman Clifford Jordan; pianist Mal Waldron, and bassist Art Davis, in addition to some guest percussionists) all have opportunities to make strong contributions. Dolphy's pleading alto solo on "Mendacity" is particularly memorable. Abbey Lincoln has two emotional and very effective vocals, but it is the overall sound of the ensembles and the political nature of the music that make this set (along with Roach's Freedom Now Suite) quite unique in jazz history.

In risposta all’ostinato del trombone, Booker Little suona frasi di lunghezza variabile, che si concludono spesso su una nota lunga. Ecco la trascrizione e alcune osservazioni su "Man of Words".

Questo tipo di composizione, sebbene ancora basata su accordi e scale ben definiti, anticipa gli esperimenti più arditi del free jazz. Ho trascritto e analizzato "Man Of Words" di Booker Little.

Jazz in the Garden at the Museum of Modern Art is a Teddy Charles jazz album recorded live at the Museum of Modern Art in August 1960 and released in February 1961. Music from Jazz In The Garden At The Museum Of Modern Art was later reissued under the title "Sounds of the Inner City.
In an AllMusic review of Sounds of the Inner City (a reissue of Jazz in the Garden at the Museum of Modern Art), Al Campbell stated "This is a noteworthy reissue considering that there are so few instances of Little's lyrical trumpet style and Ervin's passionate tenor recorded together." - Wikipedia

Here and There is a jazz album by multi-instrumentalist Eric Dolphy. It was originally released in 1966 on the Prestige label as PRLP 7382. It contains tracks recorded on three separate dates, in different locations...
In a review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow wrote: "Although it is easy to think of this set on a whole as containing 'leftovers,' Dolphy's strong playing on alto, flute and bass clarinet makes the music of strong interest to his fans." - Wikipedia
