Description
This release presents two complete original LPs featuring the great Eric Dolphy in a small group format with Mal Waldron (1925-2002) on piano and Ron Carter (born in 1937, aged 74 at this writing) on cello & bass. The two albums were recorded a week apart in June 1961. Where? (New Jazz NJLP8265) was issued under Ron Carters name (it was his first LP as a leader), while The Quest (New Jazz NJLP8269) was released under the leadership of Mal Waldron. However, both LPs were reissued soon after under Dolphys name, probably due to the fact that the reedman died in 1964, making all of his recorded contributions more attractive to consumers. Dolphy had taped his debut album as a leader, Outward Bound, in April 1960. Although these were the first recordings issued under his name, Dolphy was already a veteran performer with considerable recording experience.
