Eric Dolphy's second album as a leader – and already a bold step forward from the first!

Jon Eardley Seven ... LP Prestige, 1956. Very Good ... Just Sold Out!
A rare session as a leader for trumpeter Jon Eardley – a strong 50s player in Gerry Mulligan's group, one with a tone that is both cool and modern, but also able to move deftly in bop circles!
