{"product_id":"remembering-eric-dolphy","title":"Remembering Eric Dolphy","description":"Having paid homage to Alec Wilder in 1996, guitarist Vic Juris sets his sights on a very different musical icon, Eric Dolphy. Like Dave Douglas has done with Booker Little, Wayne Shorter, and Mary Lou Williams, Juris not only plays Dolphy's music, but presents a batch of original pieces \"inspired by\" him. He begins and ends with two of Dolphy's exceedingly complex free bop lines, \"Miss Ann\" and \"Out There,\" giving himself quite a workout. He also includes \"Something Sweet, Something Tender,\" a haunting piece from Out to Lunch, and \"South Street Exit,\" a blues that finds saxophonist Dick Oatts switching from alto to flute, as Dolphy often did himself. Standouts among the originals include the swinging, multi-meter \"He Me\" and the lyrical \"Tone Rose\" (a pun on \"tone rows\"). Oatts contributes \"Emphasizing Eric,\" a slow grooving piece with a difficult melody that has Juris sounding quite a bit like John Scofield. Bassist Jay Anderson and drummer Jeff Hirshfield have a way of making this arduous music sound easy and fun. ~ David R.
