The following attempt at a complete discography is for the purpose of keepingtrack of what I have and do not have as far as Eric's recordings.

Jonathon Grasse: the life & music of Eric Dolphy

(This transcript has been lightly edited for clarity.)

Lawrence Peryer: Well, I have to tell you, I've been looking forward to this one. It's so long overdue.

All three volumes were reissued, without alternate takes, as a triple LP under the title The Great Concert of Eric Dolphy. Two other tracks, Mal Waldron's "Status Seeking" and Dolphy's solo rendition of Billie Holiday's "God Bl
