Impressions

Featuring the music of Eric Dolphy
Duration: 05:51
June 29, 2025

Eric Dolphy was a multi-woodwind giant, performing on alto sax, flute , clarinet, bass clarinet and baritone sax. His sound in the 1950s and 1960s was energetic and adventurous, featuring flurries and squawks, overtones and voice-like patterns, which helped to define free/avant-garde jazz. In this video of John Coltrane's "Impressions," Coltrane first displays his signature modal improvisation on tenor, starting at 00:18. Then, at 02:44. Dolphy simply takes off on alto sax. Suffice to say, they come across at least as equals. Dolphy was born June 20, 1928 and passed away on June 29, 1964, due to complications of diabetes.

Marc Copland: Impressions

by John Kelman
May 25, 2023

Solo performances may approach presenting an artist at his or her most vulnerable, but it's in the context of the duo that they're the most exposed. Not only are their abilities, instincts and improvisational élan laid bare, but their communication skills, at the deepest level, are impossible to disguise. The good news is that, were pianist ...
