Eric Dolphy - Out to lunch



There's always a part of a day, when the sun is around at the top of its way, and everything's seem to be stopped. It's hot and silent, and it's usually at summer. Out to lunch has a this kind of mood for me.
Cast: Eric Dolphy - bass clarinet, flute, alto saxophone, Freddie Hubbard - trumpet, Bobby Hutcherson - vibraphone, Richard Davis - bass, and Tony Williams - drums. The instruments live different lives, but then they are also together - they find ourselves. This makes it free, and it's listenable, doesn't get too helter-skelter and unenjoyable. You will meet strange rhythms, unsteadily moving melodys, and there's a constant kind of atmosphere in all tracks - this makes something to a real album. The vibraphone is ice on the cake.
I could write many more lines about it, but that's unnecessary - sometimes it don't need to write about music, it needs to hear that music. And please don't ask me about it, I'm out to lunch!

It' released in 1964.
