Eric Dolphy

• 2 ORIGINAL ALBUMS ON 1 CD

• INCLUDES 1 BONUS TRACK

• 16-PAGE BOOKLET

This release presents two albums made by the great Eric Dolphy with Latin Jazz groups in their entirety. Although both albums were supposedly by the “Latin Jazz Quintet”, the only constant in personnel is the presence of Dolphy, who plays alternatively on alto sax, flute and bass clarinet. As a bonus, another tune with a Latin feeling featuring Eric Dolphy taken from a session with Max Roach as the leader.
