Title: Outward Bound
Label: New Jazz NJLP 8236
Release: US 1960
Format: Vinyl Record 12" LP
Genre: Jazz Hard Bop Post Bop
Additional photos and videos available upon request.
Highlights include the driving opener "GW," dedicated to Dolphy’s friend Gerald Wilson, and "245," a piece named after Dolphy’s Los Angeles apartment address. His interpretation of "On Green Dolphin Street" shows his ability to transform a standard into something wholly personal, while Jaki Byard adds color with his stylistic versatility, shifting from modernist lines to stride-inspired figures.
The album’s cover, featuring Dolphy with a parrot perched on his shoulder, quickly became one of the most striking and memorable images in jazz album art. It was also the very first recorded collaboration between Dolphy and the young Freddie Hubbard, a partnership that would later flourish in Charles Mingus’s ensembles. "Outward Bound" stands as both a hard bop classic and a document of a brilliant artist beginning to push the boundaries of jazz toward uncharted territory.

Album Description
"Outward Bound," recorded in April 1960 and released on Prestige, marked Eric Dolphy’s debut as a leader and introduced the jazz world to his unmistakable voice on alto saxophone, bass clarinet, and flute. The session brought together an outstanding lineup featuring trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, pianist Jaki Byard, bassist George Tucker, and drummer Roy Haynes. While the album is firmly rooted in the energy of hard bop, it already reveals Dolphy’s adventurous spirit and unconventional phrasing that would later blossom on his more radical recordings such as "Out to Lunch!"Highlights include the driving opener "GW," dedicated to Dolphy’s friend Gerald Wilson, and "245," a piece named after Dolphy’s Los Angeles apartment address. His interpretation of "On Green Dolphin Street" shows his ability to transform a standard into something wholly personal, while Jaki Byard adds color with his stylistic versatility, shifting from modernist lines to stride-inspired figures.
