Eric Dolphy has sometimes been described as an iconoclast, but in Outward Bound, he was not overturning his idol, Charlie Parker; he was building on Bird’s legacy. So deep was Dolphy’s musicianship, so free his imagination, that he enchanted trailblazers like John Coltrane and Charles Mingus. Partnering in this collection with the brilliant trumpeter Freddie Hubbard and a stunning rhythm section, Dolphy is at a peak of energy and creativity on alto saxophone, bass clarinet, and flute. He and Hubbard work with empathy reminiscent of the young Parker and Dizzy Gillespie. Pianist Jaki Byard, bassist George Tucker, and drummer Roy Haynes were ideal accompanists and co-conspirators in this widely influential work.

Outward Bound posted on 04/13/2023 5 Stars Reviewer: Anthony High quality recording with a very wide stereo presentation. Freddie Hubbard is in top form and is a perfect compliment on trumpet to Dolphy's sax, clarinet and flute. They are backed by a strong rhythm section especially a driving Roy Haynes on drums. The group's version of Green Dolphin Street is fresh and innovative.
