Iron Man

by Eric Dolphy

Recorded in 1963 alongside the legendary 'Conversations' sessions but released posthumously, 'Iron Man' highlights Eric Dolphy's staggering genius on alto sax, flute, and bass clarinet. The album is incredibly complex and fiercely energetic, utilizing wonderfully dissonant, highly technical acoustic improvisations to push post-bop firmly into the avant-garde.
