Amazing avant garde material from Dolphy – and never issued before in any form! The concert was recorded in 1963 at the
University of Illinois, and it features some
of the most "out" playing we've ever heard from Dolphy. He's backed by a trio comprised
of Herbie Hancock, Eddie Khan, and JC Moses – and the main solos are on flute, alto, and bass clarinet, which Dolphy plays to amazing effect! 6 tracks feature the core quartet playing alone with Dolphy, and a 7th features backing by a larger group comprised
of University Of Illinois students, including a very young Cecil Bridgewater! This is definitely the kind
of lost material we're happy to see unearthed – and it's packaged and notated with the usual high Blue Note level
of quality. Titles include "Softly As In A Morning Sunrise", "South Street Exit", "Iron Man", "Red Planet", and "GW".
