Hybrid but very good

"I have always mixed feelings about "mixed" albums. Part of this albums comes from the Outward Bound recordings, part from the European live album with a Copenhagen rhythm section, the first two tracks were recorded at the 1960 Five Spot concert. All these tracks are good in itself, but they don't really fit together. But if you like the Five Spot recordings, you should buy this album to complete them (or buy the complete prestige recordings where you'll find all the concert recordings together). You should hear Dolphy's unaccompagnied bass clarinet version of "God bless the child". Mag-ni-fi-cent!"
