  Eric was a very unique jazz player. Everything was a little odd, yet all brilliant. He was one of a kind. Where his vision came from I don't know, but his fellow jazz giants recognized that he was special. Coltrane, Mingus, and many others acknowledged his unique musicianship.  He was really special.

  2 musicians eternally regretted to have died too young: Hendrix and Dolphy.<br>NO ONE could and can play the bass clarinet like Dolphy.

  I&apos;ve only recently discovered Eric Dolphy&apos;s music. &nbsp;I&apos;m having the same life-changing revelatory experience I had when I first heard &nbsp;Coltrane (and not because I&apos;m listening to him play Naima!). &nbsp;The man is immensely talented. I regret having lived so much of my life without his music in it. &nbsp;Wow. &nbsp;Just wow!

  Dolphy stops me in my tracks with his genius. The others are great in this recording but he is just &quot;off the charts&quot; sublime. A true genius.

  For those of us fortunate to realize that jazz is communicated spiritually first and wat it truly represents this music was innately given to that black man only he and his trials and triumphs and create a music so profound and stunning to the fortunate and blessed ears so few of us possess! The brilliance of jazz played can never be over stated! Wat can you say???!!!??

  Every time I hear Eric Dolphy I realize that James Joyce was the Eric Dolphy of literature.

  Possibly the most beautiful solo sax entrance ever, followed by the most stunning cover of a Coltrane song ever, beyond out there, if this was Eric&apos;s last studio session, what truly amazing farewell to the planet earth.
