KEN MCINTYRE & ERIC DOLPHY - Looking Ahead - LP - Clear Vinyl

LP - Limited Edition Clear Vinyl

Looking Ahead is the debut album by American jazz musician Ken McIntyre, recorded with fellow alto saxophonist Eric Dolphy in 1960 and released on the New Jazz label in January 1961. From the beginning, Mr. McIntyre considered himself part of the avant-garde or "new thing" movement in jazz, as spearheaded by musicians like Ornette Coleman, Bill Dixon, and Cecil Taylor, although his own music was considerably more traditionally melodic than theirs.

He played a whole fleet of reed instruments, including oboe, bassoon, bass clarinet, and saxophones. In 1964, on the album Way, Way Out, he recorded bouncing, urgent jazz tunes with chilly, dissonant string arrangements; in 1966, he accompanied Mr. Taylor on the album Unit Structures, a landmark recording of the jazz avant-garde.
