  • They Say...

    On July 16, 1961, multi-instrumentalist Eric Dolphy and trumpeter Booker Little were extensively documented during the finish of a two-week engagement at the Five Spot in New York. Pianist Mal Waldron (overcoming an out-of-tune piano), bassist Richard Davis, and drummer Ed Blackwell completed the quintet, which on the first of three CD reissues from this gig performs Waldron's "Fire Waltz," Dolphy's "The Prophet" (which lasts 21 minutes), and two versions of Little's "Bee Vamp." During Dolphy and Little's short musical partnership, the two truly inspired each other, and their playing on the challenging tunes is quite stimulating.
