Quintessence Los Angeles - New York - Copenhague

Grandi dans les rangs du bop californien, multi instrumentiste surdoue, Eric Dolphy a su imposer un souffle nouveau au sein des contextes les plus divers, « passeur » inlassable vers un ailleurs du jazz, plus libre, don't il a contribue à ouvrir magnifiquement le chemin. Artiste eminemment sincère, intègre et genereux il devoile ici les multiples facettes de son art, l'emotion brute de la beaute mise à nue. Jean-Paul RICARD Raised in the ranks of Californian bop, the gifted multi-instrumentalist Eric Dolphy brought a fresh breath into the most diverse contexts. A tireless 'bridge-builder' toward a different realm of jazz-freer, and one he helped magnificently to open up-he stands as a profoundly sincere, principled, and generous artist. Here, he reveals the many facets of his art: the raw emotion of beauty laid bare.Jean-Paul RICARD CD 1 (1949-1960) : ROY PORTER & His 17 BEBOPPERS (Savoy 944) : GASSIN' THE WIG -as. - CHICO HAMILTON QUINTET (Warner Bros WB1344) MISS MOVEMENT -as. - CHICO HAMILTON QUINTET (Sesac Repertory N2902) : LADY E -fl. - ERIC DOLPHY QUINTET (New Jazz NJ8236 & Prestige PR7382) : G.W. -as. 245 -as.
