Multi award-winning Empirical return with their tribute to Eric Dolphy’s musical legacy - their own compositions plus arrangements of some Dolphy originals. Eric Dolphy was a pivotal musician in the jazz avant-garde of the late 50s/60s – appropriate music for exploration by this young British group who in the last 2 years have played to great acclaim at Festivals all over the world. "Intelligent, spacey music with absorbing solos" Jack Massarik, Evening Standard (London Jazz Festival review) "graceful...dramatic and subtle...a daring maturity that can only bode well for the future." Jazzwise “Formidable alto-sax solos” John Fordham, The Guardian
