• Track Listing

Dolphy pushed the limits of jazz, with Mingus and Coltrane and also as a leader (a bandleader and an avant-garde trailblazer). In ’64, he released his masterpiece "Out to Lunch!"; in ’63, he put out two brilliant, groundbreaking albums that set the stage for that LP: "Conversations" and "Iron Man." This 3-CD set brings you those two 1963 LPs plus unreleased tracks from that year…you’ll hear 85 minutes of rare and previously unissued recordings, and a 100-page booklet includes unpublished photos, essays and interviews. Dolphy is on bass clarinet, flute and alto sax (at times unaccompanied) across "Iron Man," "Burning Spear," "Come Sunday," "Jitterbug Waltz," "Music Matador," "Muses for Richard Davis," "A Personal Statement" and more including alternate takes and featuring Woody Shaw, Bobby Hutcherson and more!
