Eric Dolphy - Hat And Beard download song

One of the greatest albums ever recorded.

This album is certainly one of the greatest jazz recordings ever. The sound is something completely new and unique and how well it works! Dolphy was in my opinion one of the great jazz composers of all time. Like Mingus!!! What he could have done, if he just hadn´t died young!! Other Aspects album with masterpiece "Jim Crow" gives a nice picture of what he was searching: a unique form of "III stream".

No one will EVER, EVER, duplicate Eric's playing on bass clarinet, a true master of the instrument.......

The sax is laughing. But it's not laughing with you.

I have listened to this multiple times the last couple years and never could dig it, but it has finally clicked and can't stop listening

It blew my mind away when I realized that that was Tony Williams on drums; I've been listening to this album for a while now.

im like obsessed with this song honestly

I have a beautiful, early vinyl pressing of this. Great music, great cover, great piece of vinyl.

The intro to this number is incredible.

this is so much craziness but its like a journey at the same time this is why I love jazz so much it takes me from where I am into a place where Im surrounded by music jazz, it comforts and surrounds you completely jazz, its so easy to embrace because from the moment you begin listening youre already enveloped

"I was thinking about Monk when I wrote this tune. He's so musical no matter what he's doing, even if he's just walking around. It opens in 5/4, but once the whole group is in, the basic count is really 9/4." - Eric Dolphy 

his solo sounds so random when i first heard it, but now I have each note memorized. It's so fun to dance to it

the use of bird calls that Dolphy is Making here is just awesome. It sounds like some kind of angry ostrich! check out 'feathers' from his album 'Out There', just beautiful!

RIP Bobby Hutcherson

pretty sure dolphy hopped in a time machine to the year 2732, listened to some modern jazz, and came back to 1964

In the 60s a friend of mine had this album. I did not really feel the music, it was too far out then. But of course Dolphy et al were brilliantly innovative. As were Ornette Coleman and Coltrane. It took me a few years, though, to appreciate them. But hey, in 1927 Louis Armstrong was far out, too.

this is so ahead of it's time...sounds like experimental hip-hop

The background to many surrealist art galleries ...

I bought this album without hearing it first. It came with an out to lunch t shirt. It is, at this point, my favorite jazz album And this is my favorite song on the album "Out there" is another good album of Dolphy's
