RECORDED LIVE IN COPENHAGEN DURING SEPTEMBER OF 1961 BY THE UNIQUE ERIC DOLPHY, THIS DATE HAS THE STRONGEST PROGRAM OF THE TRIO. DOLPHY IS HEARD ON “GOD BLESS THE CHILD” PLAYING UNACCOMPANIED BASS CLARINET, SWITCHES TO FLUTE FOR “GLAD TO BE UNHAPPY” ROMPS ON THE BASS CLARINET ON “OLEO” AND PLAYS ALTO FOR A DUET WITH BASSIST CHUCK ISRAEL ON RANDY WESTON'S “HI-FLY”. JOINED BY A SUPPORTIVE DANISH RHYTHM SECTION (PIANIST BENT AXEN, BASSIST ERIK MOSEHOLM AND DRUMMER JØRN ELNIFF) ON THE TWO QUARTET TRACKS, DOLPHY IS IN EXCELLENT FORM THROUGHOUT THE WELL-ROUNDED RELEASE–––THIS ORIGINAL 1962 DANISH MONO PRESSING IS IN UNBELIEVABLE CLEAN, VIRTUALLY UNPLAYED CONDITION ; THE FULLY LAMINATED COVER IS ALSO IN GREAT SHAPE ... JUST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND A BETTER COPY– OFTEN CONSIDERED TO BE THE RAREST ERIC DOLPHY ALBUM !
