The Illinois Concert

by Eric Dolphy

Discovered decades after the fact, this 1963 recording catches Dolphy brilliantly collaborating with an ad-hoc ensemble from the University of Illinois, including pianist Herbie Hancock. It highlights his incredibly agile, vocal-inflected woodwind solos bridging the gap between rigorous post-bop changes and pure free expression.
