Eric Allan Dolphy, Jr. 1928-1964
In the jazz of the 1960s, Eric Dolphy was an original:
a hero to some, but also a mystery, a virtuosic improviser searching for ways of expression outside of common practice.
He died of an undiagnosed diabetic condition in Berlin in June 1964, at 36, old enough to consolidate his experience and wisdom but perhaps too young to settle his reputation, which had by then taken some knocks from those who found his music abstract or abrasive.
