Eric Dolphy Remind Us that He's a Genius (Mingus & Dolphy, "Take the A Train," 1964)

Well, was a genius - he died way, way too young in 1964. One can only wonder how he would have evolved in the subsequent years.

By the way, absolutely amazing solo by the pianist, Jackie Byard - he's just swinging along, and then all of a sudden he goes stride on us. It's a real shame it's cut off.

You can't hear a thing, you can't see a thing, and yet despite - or perhaps because - of this, it's beautiful music.
