Out to Lunch stands as Eric Dolphy's magnum opus, an absolute pinnacle
of avant-garde jazz in any form or era. Its rhythmic complexity was
perhaps unrivaled since Dave Brubeck's Time Out, and its five Dolphy
originals -- the jarring Monk tribute "Hat and Beard," the aptly titled
"Something Sweet, Something Tender," the weirdly jaunty flute showcase
"Gazzelloni," the militaristic title track, the drunken lurch of
"Straight Up and Down" -- were a perfect balance of structured
frameworks, carefully calibrated timbres, and generous individual
freedom. Much has been written about Dolphy's odd time signatures,
wide-interval leaps, and flirtations with atonality. And those
preoccupations reach their peak on Out to Lunch, which is less rooted in
bop tradition than anything Dolphy had ever done. But that sort of
analytical description simply doesn't do justice to the utterly alien
effect of the album's jagged soundscapes. Dolphy uses those pet devices
for their evocative power and unnerving hints of dementia, not some
abstract intellectual exercise. His solos and themes aren't just angular
and dissonant -- they're hugely so, with a definite playfulness that
becomes more apparent with every listen. The whole ensemble -- trumpeter
Freddie Hubbard, vibist Bobby Hutcherson, bassist Richard Davis, and
drummer Tony Williams -- takes full advantage of the freedom Dolphy
offers, but special mention has to be made of Hutcherson, who has fully
perfected his pianoless accompaniment technique. His creepy, floating
chords and quick stabs of dissonance anchor the album's texture, and he
punctuates the soloists' lines at the least expected times, suggesting
completely different pulses. Meanwhile, Dolphy's stuttering vocal-like
effects and oddly placed pauses often make his bass clarinet lines sound
like they're tripping over themselves. Just as the title Out to Lunch
suggests, this is music that sounds like nothing so much as a mad gleam
in its creator's eyes. Steve Huey
