With billows and blasts from choirs and orchesters
Buskers and talkers
Big bands and squawkers,
the Stork Club has retained its qualities of decaying elegance and dwindling significance since the late 1950s.

June 20, 2021: The Double-Dolphy Deluge, part. 1
A proper tribute to the great multi-instrumentalist Eric Dolphy cannot be contained within a mere four hours, so we celebrate his 93rd birthday, holding him over for TWO WEEKS at The Stork Club - this Sunday and next (June 27). We will hear from among his greatest recordings as a leader, and from his many sideman dates with Charles Mingus, John Coltrane, Max Roach, and Ornette Coleman to name but a few. Dolphy’s mind-blowing virtuosity was equally astonishing on bass clarinet, flute and alto saxophone. His distinctive tone and his singular harmonic concept encompassed all of the known human musical realm, as well as all the sounds of the natural world. Welcome to the Dolphy Double-Dip, Part One!!

Listener comments!
Revolution Rabbit Nov63:
His improvisational style was characterized by the use of wide intervals, in addition to employing an array of extended techniques to emulate the sounds of human voices and animals. He used melodic lines that were "angular, zigzagging from interval to interval, taking hairpin turns at unexpected junctures, making dramatic leaps from the lower to the upper register." Although Dolphy's work is sometimes classified as free jazz, his compositions and solos were often rooted in conventional (if highly abstracted) tonal bebop harmony.

I love the Latin Jazz Quintet's handful of albums, agree that those Dolphy dates are real oddballs, though.
