5.0 out of 5 stars Great Album, January 29, 2000

This album was recorded live in Copenhagen in 1961. Hi Fly is a 13-minute duet with Eric on flute and Chuck Israels on bass. It has great consistency, considering the sparse lineup. The version of God Bless the Child here is Eric on solo bass clarinet, and I think it's generally considered to be his best recorded version (also check out Here & There, and The Illinois Concert for other versions). The other two album cuts are featuring 3 Danish musicians. They're not totally on Eric's wavelength on Glad to be Unhappy (flute)-- but Oleo is more in the hard bop vein they're used to, and it really cooks with eric on bass clarinet! Great album for any Dolphy fan, though I think you should get Live at the Five Spot vols. 1 & 2 and the Memorial Album first because those are his best live recordings.

I really love listening to this album. All the songs are good, but "Oleo" is really a stand-out. Dolphy really soars and plays his heart out and the rhthym section is really movin'.Really listen to the drumming; it's magnificent especially at the beginning of the piano solo. My only complaint is that the bass seems a little far down in the mix.This album is really worth it just to be able to listen to "Oleo"
