Jonathon Grasse - Jazz Revolutionary: The Life & Music Of Eric Dolphy

Jonathon Grasse in conversation with David Eastaugh http://jawbonepress.com/jazz-revolutionary/ Jazz Revolutionary is the first full biography of Eric Dolphy, passionately tracing his creative life from Los Angeles clubs of the late 1940s and 50s, to New York in the early 1960s, and on to Paris, where sixty years ago he died from the complications of undiagnosed diabetes. It presents an engaging examination of this innovative musician and composer, from his family background to posthumous memorials, and provides insight into his recordings both as sideman and leader.
