This Eric Dolphy CD appeared out of nowhere in 2000, and Dolphy fans might be
enticed by the supposed presence of any unreleased tracks. Sadly, this
low-quality reissue, which lacks a list of musicians, liner notes, track
timings, or composer credits, is little more than a rip-off. The first four
tracks were originally recorded in 1963 and previous appeared on LPs issued by
either Everest or Douglas. The obvious surface noise indicates this label didnt
even bother to pretend that they had access to the master tapes but simply
dubbed the tracks from records. Stormy Weather is the originally unreleased
first take recorded by Candid under the leadership of Charles Mingus in 1960,
with Dolphy on alto sax, trumpeter Ted Curson, and drummer Dannie Richmond; the
distorted sound, particularly of the bass, is the result of lousy production by
this cheesy reissue label and not on the original tape. Wherever I Go sounds as
if it is a date by drummer Chico Hamiltons quintet; the instrumentation includes
drums, cello, bass, guitar, and Dolphy doubling on alto sax and flute, although
he only solos on the former. Whether or not this one track has been previously
issued in any form, the first five tracks contained on this CD are all available
elsewhere with far superior sound, making this release an extremely poor
investment; therefore, the price would have to be extremely low for Dolphy fans
to justify paying for one track of less than four minutes in length.
