Out To Lunch (Classic Vinyl Series): Vinyl LP

In February 1964,Eric Dolphyassembled a formidable quintet of modern jazz visionaries withFreddie Hubbardon trumpet,Bobby Hutchersonon vibraphone,Richard Davison bass, andTony Williamson drums, and headed intoRudy Van Geldersstudio to record what would stand as his masterwork:Out to Lunch!

A genius artist of startling originality,Dolphymanaged to possess the revolutionary spirit of the avant-garde while keeping a foot firmly planted in the feeling of swing, a rare feat that the five original pieces here perfectly captured from the offbeat swagger of the opening Monk tribute Hat and Beard to the careening closer Straight Up and Down.

This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
