Dolphy with the Charles Mingus Sextet, Eric - Stockholm 1964/Antibes 1960 DVD
SKU
21-IMPRO-JAZZ
Two great clips in pretty good but not really perfect picture quality. The Stockholm 1964 show has Charles wearing these insane "terminator" type shades and counting off the songs with a MIGHTY swipe of his bow; I would not have wanted to be in his way that night...
"This release contains 2 rare occasions Eric Dolphy was captured on film. Both of these clips feature Dolphy performing with the Charles Mingus Sextet. The 1st shows Dolphy in a rehearsal with the band. Sadly, Eric Dolphy died that same year. The 2nd part of this DVD takes us back 4 years to 1960. In addition to Dolphys amazing interplay with Booker Ervin, this performance showcases the exceptional pianist Bud Powell. Powell was among the audience during the Mingus Sextet concert in Antibes and sat in to play with the band for this one song. Featured are Eric Dolphy, Clifford Jordan, Johnny Coles, Jaki Byard, Charles Mingus, Danny Richmond, Ted Curson, Booker Ervin, and Bud Powell."
