Saxophonist, flautist, clarinetist, and composer Eric Dolphy was a unique figure in jazz history. Dolphy was one of a generation of players who wanted to stretch the range and limits of jazz--he played with a revolutionary energetic, vocalized tone, yet always kept in touch with the verities of the bebop school. IN EUROPE VOL. 3 finds Dolphy in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1961, supported by a trio of Danish players. "Woody 'N You," the Dizzy Gillespie standard, is taken at a fast clip, with Dolphy's brisk, twisting alto solo an exhilarating balance of freedom and focus. "The Blues" shows that Dolphy was never far from the roots of jazz, and "When Lights Are Low" features him swinging the bass clarinet. The Danish players aren't nearly as adventurous as Dolphy, but they play with a crisp exuberance, particularly drummer Jorn Elniff.
