Eric Dolphy – In Europe, Vol. 2 album art
Don Schlitten was a fond user of Benguiat Interlock, and specified it for a number of albums, including the second of three volumes of Eric Dolphy in Europe. Dolphy, the jazz multi-instrumentalist from Los Angeles who played with Charles Mingus, John Coltrane and others, recorded it in September 1961 in Copenhagen, Denmark. The album wasn’t released until 1965, one year after Dolphy had died in West Berlin, probably due to undiagnosed diabetes.
The cover is […] a beauty, with classic laminate and a superb picture of Dolphy smoking a pipe. How very bohemian and utterly against today’s Health and Safety culture. But since Dolphy was dead by the age of only 36, that hardly seems to matter. Guess the pension plan turned out a poor investment.
