Last Date [SACD Hybrid]

[Machine Translation]

This collection features both stereo and monaural versions of Eric Dolphy's final studio recording, made while he was at the forefront of the modern jazz scene.

This is the final studio recording made by Eric Dolphy-who was at the forefront of the modern jazz scene-one month before his sudden death in Berlin. The tones of the alto saxophone, flute, and bass clarinet are brought back to life here with a pure, fresh sound, free of any artifice. This release features both stereo and monaural versions on the Super Audio CD layer. Please enjoy the differences and distinct atmospheres of each.
