About This Item
Recorded live in Sweden in September 1961, the Uppsala Concert is an important document from Dolphy's first Swedish tour as leader of an obscure but talented local quartet featuring Rony Johansson (piano), Kurt Lindgren (bass), and Rune Carlsson (drums). Master Dolphy shines, as always, on all his instruments alto sax, bass clarinet, and flute, while the track list consists of a rare mix of standards such as Milt Jackson's InchBags Groove,Inch Monk's Inch52nd Street Theme,Inch Cole Porter's InchWhat Is This Thing Called Love?Inch and the famous unaccompanied alto sax version of InchLaura,Inch all this plus a 20-minutes-long version of Dolphy's blues Inch245Inch where every single note played by Dolphy sounds as pure gold.
