Hutcherson is the man. I like a couple of his 70s albums, very excited to check this properly.

The mysterious/uncertain feel throughout is so good man

Yeah, it seems like it never gives you the melodic resolutions your initially ear wants.

After staring at the comment section for what feels like an eternity, let me just say I can safely say I've never heard anything like this. Damn, what is happening?



"The mysterious/uncertain feel throughout is so good man" (2)



I do enjoy this aspect. It's very elusively 'alien' in its dissonance at times. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, prettiness, or even hints at a graspable melody emerges from seemingly obfuscate origins

Dolphy himself was an alien.

Very cool. Almost unnervingly so



Out of curiosity - what is your opinion on this one?

Robert won't like it because it's not Bebop.

I like this album, for sure. Maybe the suspended-chord aesthetic isn’t quite for me: kind of feels like pure tension harmonically where I want release. But definitely a good album

yeah, it definitely leans tension over release, in fact you could say it’s rather committed to being obtuse



I dig the atmosphere. It works well. Perhaps the intrigue will wear off, but at the minute it certainly captivates

Look up the video where Eric dolphy plays an absolutely unhinged bass Clar solo on “Peggy’s blue skylight” by Charles Mingus—the coolest man?
