Out There

by Eric Dolphy

Out There cover art

A revolutionary and unique album in the jazz canon, 'Out There' showcases Eric Dolphy's singular vision. By replacing the piano with Ron Carter's cello, Dolphy creates a stark, cerebral, and unprecedented 'chamber jazz' sound. The music is a brilliant example of 'Third Stream' sensibilities, blending the harmonic language of avant-garde classical music with the improvisational fire of jazz. It stands as one of Dolphy's most important and forward-thinking statements.
