Eric Dolphy (Eric Allen Dolphy)

geboren: 20. Juni 1928, Los Angeles, California/USA
gestorben: 29. Juni 1964, Berlin/Deutschland

Ohne Zweifel zählt Eric Dolphy zu den wichtigsten und einflußreichsten Musikern des modernen Jazz. In der Öffentlichkeit wurde er zwar von Stars wie John Coltrane oder Ornette Coleman überschattet, doch noch heute bewundern viele junge Musiker seine kompromißlose musikalische Individualität.
   Dolphy wurde 1928 in Los Angeles geboren. Er sammelte seine ersten professionellen Erfahrungen in der Band von Roy Porter (1948-50). Aufnahmen dieses Orchesters aus Los Angeles existieren, auf ihnen aber ist Dolphy nicht als Solist zu hören. In den frühen 50er Jahren arbeitete Dolphy in Armee-Kapellen, studierte an der US Naval School of Music and spielte ansonsten mit vor allem lokalen Bands aus Los Angeles. 1958 wurde er Mitglied im Quintett des Schlagzeugers Chico Hamilton, das eine bis dahin ungewohnte Instrumentation besaß: Holzbläser (Dolphy an Altsaxophon, Flöte, Klarinette und Baßklarinette), Cello, Gitarre, Kontrabaß und Schlagzeug. Von 1959 bis 1960 und auch in späteren Jahren war Dolphy Mitglied der Band von Charles Mingus, leitete aber auch seine eigene Gruppe zusammen mit dem Trompeter Booker Little. Dolphy begleitete John Coltrane 1962 auf einer Europa-Tournee. Er starb 1964 in Berlin an einem diabetes-bedingten Herzanfall.
   Dolphy war ein virtuoser Meister auf dem Altsaxophon, und er machte die Baßklarinette zu einem wichtigen Instrument des modernen Jazz. Er war an etlichen Konzerten und Aufnahmesitzungen des "Third Stream" beteiligt, in denen Gunther Schuller, John Lewis und das Orchestra U.S.A. in den späten 50er und frühen 60er Jahren versuchten, die Welten des Jazz und der modernen Klassik zusammenzubringen. Seine Improvisationsmanier schien für eine solche Vermittlung zeitgemäßer Kompositions- und Improvisationstechniken besonders geeignet.

Eric Dolphy (Eric Allen Dolphy)

born: 20. Juni 1928, Los Angeles, California/USA
died: 29. June 1964, Berlin/Germany

Without doubt, Eric Dolphy counts among the most important and influential musicians of modern jazz. While in the attention of the large public he was overshadowed by stars such as John Coltrane and Ornette Coleman, his work is still admired by young musicians today for its non-compromising individuality.
   Dolphy was born in Los Angeles in 1928. His first professional experiences with Roy Porter's L.A. based band (1948-1950) are documented in record, though Dolphy is not heard as soloist. In the early 1950s Dolphy worked in Army bands, studied at the US Naval School of Music and played mostly with local bands in Los Angeles. In 1958 he joined drummer Chico Hamilton's quintet which featured an unusual instrumentation of reeds (Dolphy on alto, flute, clarinet and bass clarinet), cello, guitar, bass and drums. From 1959-1960 as well as in later years he was heard in the band of Charles Mingus who featured him extensively, but also led an own group with trumpeter Booker Little. Dolphy accompanied John Coltrane on a European tour in 1962. He died in Berlin, Germany, in 1964 due to a heart attack occasioned by diabetes.
   Dolphy was a virtuoso master on the alto saxophone and introduced the bass clarinet as an important solo instrument in jazz. He partook in several concerts and recording sessions with Gunther Schuller, John Lewis and the Orchestra U.S.A. who in the late 1950s and early 1960s wanted to join the worlds of jazz and classical in a music for which Schuller invented the term "Third Stream". His style of improvisation seemed especially fitting for combining contemporary composition and improvisation techniques.

Alan Saul has compiled a Dolphy page containing a complete discography of the saxophonist as well as more than 50 sound bites by Dolphy;

Joe Hellerstein's Dolphy-page contains several transcriptions of Dolphy solos, among them "Serene" and "Miss Ann".

Paul Karting was editor of the Dutch B-14 monthly "True Note" and responsible for Dolphy's Dutch tour in 1964, during which the saxophonist made his last recordings at a radio-broadcast in Hilversum, Holland. Of that recording came the LP/CD "Last Date". His documentation of Dolphy's Dutch stay offers interesting information.
