Out There - Limited 180-Gram Vinyl with Bonus Tracks - LP

Eric Dolphy's second LP as a leader, Out There was taped in 1960, the same year that he recorded his debut LP, Outward Bound. Although these were his first recordings as a leader, Dolphy was already a veteran performer with considerable recording experience. He had formed part of drummer Roy Porter's orchestra during 1948-1950 (with whom he waxed his first sides), and in 1949 he made his first recording with Charles Mingus, who would serve as his employer and mentor for many years. The instrumentation used on Out There is quite unusual, with Dolphy playing in a quartet format with Ron Carter on cello, George Duvivier on bass, and Roy Haynes on drums.
