Eric Dolphy - Live at the Five Spot vol I

I always knew Eric Dolphy was a jazz master, but this album really introduced me to the genius of Booker Little. He does some things that I never thought were possible on the trumpet.

This record was so good, I jumped at the chance to pick up volume 2 from the same gig. This is a wonderful group:
Eric Dolphy - Alto Sax, Bass Clarinet, Flute
Booker Little - Trumpet
Mal Waldron - Out of Tune Piano
Richard Davis - Bass
Eddie Blackwell - Drums

I wish I could have seen this group play live!

Booker Little died at age 23. He is definitely a jazz legend that left too soon. Thank God his talents were recorded for preservation!
