Eric Dolphy was Iron Man


Really enjoying this live rendition of Dolphy's "Iron Man" featuring Herbie Hancock. The jaunty, angular nature of the composition plus Hancock's introspective, grounded solo somehow coalesces into a beautiful 11 minutes. We are still waiting for a definitive biography of Dolphy, one of the best jazz artists of the 1960s.
