(from the liner notes to OTL)

“Ever since Eric Dolphy broke up the Showplace with the Charlie Mingus group some four years ago, New York hasn’t quite known what to make of him. Nobody could believe it was the same Eric Dolphy who’d been “through” the year before. Couldn’t be. That Eric Dolphy played nice – pretty and all. This one was wild and woolly, played all kinds of unmentionable things you wouldn’t say in front of your mother.”

Atlantic output marks the constant progression of the artist, “Coltrane Jazz” giving a nutshell of things to come.
Dolphy is also restrained on Jhn Lewis’ “the wonderful world of jazz”.

I think it was Prestige. Also, if I remember correctly, on the Blue Note LP Out To Lunch, I think there is a reference to FM. I’m away for the weekend, but perhaps someone can look it up. As for the record, it is underrated and Dolphy is surprisingly restrained in his playing. When you listen to the Atlantic Trane LPs you can almost hear Trane’s thoughts as he’s evolving the music. I know one collector who believes the Atlantic’s are Trane’s best work, and I’m not sure I would disagree, although I happen to like the entire Trane pantheon through A Love Supreme. You can view it all as a clear progression of an artist discovering and unleashing his genius. — al

Blue Note was a one-off. The FM sesson too, I think. Both Blue Note nd FM were several years later. Anyway, George Lane = Eric Dolphy.

Dolphy was under contract with another label at the time. Don’t remember the label though. Prestige?
