Eric Dolphy was a true original with his own distinctive styles on alto, flute and bass clarinet and these are classic recordings in any form and constitute some of the most brilliant work of the early '60s avant-garde. Iron Man is every bit essential and it also clearly anticipates the detailed, abstract sound paintings of Dolphy's masterwork "Out to Lunch". In large part the track listing is weighted here toward Dolphy's originals: "Iron Man", "Burning Spear" and the shorter "Mandrake" all have outside themes, fullof Dolphy's trademark wide interval leaps and playful sense of dissonance. Featuring vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson, bassist Richard Davis, trumpeter Woody Shaw, flutist Prince Lasha, altoist Sonny Simmons and soprano sax player Clifford Jordan.
