Eric Dolphy

the greatest and most versatile of all solo jazz multi-instrumentalists. 5 years of artistic life and only masterpieces. The only one capable of thinking about improvisation between melody and free jazz. Had he lived longer, we would remember him as the greatest of all, especially in flute improvisation, and perhaps he would have also rewritten the history of the alto sax.
