ROCK 'N' RAMA

ERIC DOLPHY—Dash One (Prestige):: Alternate takes from '60-'61, including two from reed man Dolphy's first date as a leader and being rejects doesn't mean the cuts are sub-par—there's a few spaces where the changes are fumbled or forgotten but these are negligible imperfections since Dolphy's in fine form fluttering, soaring, flinging out that always slightly hysterical dissonance and, at one point, taking a relatively straight ahead boppish blues solo and sounding like a sardonic Cannonball Adderley.
