ERIC DOLPHY LAST DATE dutch last recording ORIGINAL
Very rare first issue of the last recordings of ERIC DOLPHY. This is the original issue, released in Holland in the mid sixties on the FONTANA label way before the later USA release. These recordings were made for the dutch radio by the famous Dutch jazz DJ Michiel de Ruyter on june 2nd 1964. It was a session with the dutch musician Misja Mengelberg (piano) Jacques Schols (bass) and the famous Han Bennink (drums). That this band was not a random backing band shows in Dolphy fact that he took the trio also to other countries to perform. A famous recording, and rightly so. Anywayz, This LP has 3 Dolphy originals (South Street Exit/ The Madrig Speaks, the panther walks/ Miss Ann) one track by Misja Mengelbergon with a remarkable title (HYPCHRISTMUTREEFUZZ) and two others: Epistrophy by Monk with Dolphy on Bass Clarinet (trippy!), You don’t know what love is by raye & Paul with Dolphy in flute (beautiful& Spacey!)
Sleeve notes by Michiel de Ruyter, closes with the famous words by Dolphy which he said in a interview in april that year: ‘When you hear music, after it's over, it's gone in the air, you can never capture it again’

I quote from saxaphone.org:“Last Date is not one of Dolphy's most famous records. It is, however, one of the most important for it showcases Dolphy at his most mature level. The songs on the CD were recorded live on June 2, 1964 in Hilversum, Holland. Dolphy was a guest artist for a popular Dutch radio show and was recording with Holland's most luminary jazz artists. “
“Epistrophy features Dolphy on bass clarinet. Dolphy probes the highest and lowest range of the bass clarinet with absolute ease, all the while staying within the reasonable harmonic and rhythmic confines of the structure of the piece. Dolphy's style is very developed at this point and features many explorations into new techniques, such as multiphonics and split octaves. Dolphy's note choices are always well-formed, even though on the first listen they may sound random and abstract.
"South Street Exit" features a great Dolphy flute solo! This piece exemplifies just how virtuostic Dolphy was on his instruments. He flies through the registers of the flute with flawless precision, just as he does on alto and bass clarinet. This piece grooves hard, and features a really tasty piano solo.
“The Madrig Speaks, the panther walks” Dolphy was a strong lover of nature and his playing was strongly influenced by elements of sound found in the "wild." This piece switches from 4/4 to 6/8 to emulate the pacing of the Panther and the wild call of the Madrig.
"Hypochrismutreefuzz" is by far the best name for a jazz tune ever! This is just a great tune and features a really nice alto solo from Dolphy. Misja really shines on this piece, and you can tell everyone was having a great time.
"You Don't Know What Love Is" is a lovely ballad featuring Eric on flute. This is a great tune to transcribe to hear what Dolphy was up to in this stage of his playing career. I would recommend that all doublers particularly check out Dolphy's flute tone.
"Miss Ann" is a great chart. I think there is a transcription of it on the Eric Dolphy Page. This is also a great alto piece. This another piece that really shows what Dolphy was on to just before he died.”
And, about the title Hypochristmutreefuzz:
After playing the composition DJ Michiel de Ruyter says, "That was 'Epistrophy'" and asked Eric what the next compositions will be. Eric answers "Hypochristmutreefuzz", a composition by Misha. As it is very complicated Misha has to explain the title: “Hypochristmutreefuzz is the mess underneath the Christmas tree”
