Description:

First official release of previously-unissued Eric Dolphy material in over 30 years, with 85-minutes of official studio recordings never before released. Includes an exhaustive 100-page book with rare photos by Chuck Stewart, Jean-Pierre Leloir, Val Wilmer and others; essays by jazz author/scholar Robin D.G. Kelley, Douglas label manager Michael Lemesre, Japanese Dolphy scholar Masakazu Sato, and co-producers Zev Feldman and James Newton, Plus words by John Coltrane, McCoy Tyner, Ornette Coleman and Charles Mingus and many interview with Jazz icons. Captured after leaving Prestige Records, and just before the timeless classic 'Out To Lunch!' album, 'Musical Prophet' is a 3LP/3CD set that contains the under-appreciated masterpiece albums 'Conversations' and 'Iron Man' recorded in New York City on July 1 and 3, 1963. Producer Zev Feldman says about this project, â??This is truly the holy grail of Eric Dolphy recordings." Eric Dolphy was a true original with his own distinctive styles on alto, flute and bass clarinet. While most of the other free Jazz players sounded very serious in their playing, Dolphy's solos often came across as ecstatic. -

Three CD set. Musical Prophet: The Expanded 1963 New York Studio Sessions is the first official release of previously-unissued Eric Dolphy studio recordings in over 30 years! This release contains the masterpiece albums Conversations and Iron Man recorded in NYC in July, 1963. This set features jazz greats such as saxophonist Sonny Simmons, trumpeter Woody Shaw, bassist Richard Davis and NEA Jazz Master vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson. The 100 page booklet includes rare and unpublished photos, essays and interviews.

A compilation of both Eric Dolphy LPs recorded for Douglas along with the best alternate takes, all recorded in mono, adding 85 minutes of previously unissued music.

They were in the possession of flautist James Newton when they were discovered. All tracks recorded on July 1 & 3, 1963 in New York City, except 2-6, which was recorded in Ann Arbor, MIchigan on March 2, 1964. Made in USA.
