OLIVER LAKE QUARTETTRIBUTE TO ERIC DOLPHY
In collaboration with VPRO Radio
Oliver Lake-saxophones, Peck Allmond-trumpet, Reggie Washington-double bass, Bill Mcclellan-drums
Not many saxophone players dare to meet with Eric Dolphy’s unique, challenging idiom, that expresses an unprecedented harmonic spirit with exuberant intervals. Oliver Lake embraces this approach with influences from funk and an unrestrained spirit of freedom. This makes him a strongly recognizable and, for unimaginable reasons, an undervalued stylist.
