It features Dolphy in a quintet with Freddie Hubbard on trumpet, Jaki Byard on piano, George Tucker on bass and Roy Haynes on drums. This was the first of various collaborations between Dolphy and Hubbard.
As a bonus, two tracks have been added which present Dolphy in a quintet with trumpeter Ted Curson, who was the leader of the date.
Includes 16-page booklet.
"This album is the first extended exposure I've had to the remarkable talent that is Eric Dolphy's. On the strength of what I experienced in the course of absorbing the release, I firmly believe that this man will be one of the most rewarding jazzmen of the coming decade. Above all else, his playing and writing have life. Sometimes sounding as if it is boiling with rage, Dolphy's music is filled with sharp, jagged lines that lift the listener as they spiral to peak after peak of raw emotional expression. This album is life." - ***** Don DeMicheal, DownBeat
