We Say...
In the early '60s, Eric Dolphy seemed the heir apparent to Charlie Parker, taking his innovations on alto saxophone to the next level of harmonic freedom and adding a piquant tone that stressed the task's urgency. In July, 1961, his group played at the Five Spot on Manhattan's Lower East Side. It was an amazing quintet — the crackling Booker Little, trumpet; the sonorous Mal Waldron, piano; the super-anchor Richard Davis, bass; and the supple Ed Blackwell, drums — and the sets (laid out on three albums, though "Volume 1," with "Fire Waltz," is the one to get) are no less so. Each player was considered "avant-garde," but the five together made music that was piercingly straight-ahead.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
