Sort of a "house
cleaning" album, one in which Prestige collected together a number of
unissued Dolphy tracks after his death - but still a strong one, and in a way,
the record features music that's even a bit more far-reaching than some of the
studio albums on Prestige. Dolphy plays a solo bass clarinet version of
"God Bless The Child"; he plays with Booker Little and Mal Waldron on
"Status Seeking"; he's on flute in a quartet with Jaki Byard on
"April Fool"; and he plays with a pickup Danish rhythm section on an
alternate take of "Don't Blame Me". © Dusty Groove, Inc.
