The Out To Lunch Quintet: Live at the Artists Quarter was recorded live on June 2nd and 3rd, 2006. This CD captures the excitement of live jazz and reexamines the beauty of Eric Dolphy's Out to Lunch (1964), a seminal album that influenced generations of jazz musicians and remains a cornerstone in the modern jazz movement. This is the first recording since the original to use Dolphy's arrangements and instrumentation and the first live recording of the compete album. The Out To Lunch Quintet features top musicians from the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. Dave Milne, an accomplished and versatile performer and composer, plays alto saxophone, bass clarinet, and flute. Free jazz trumpeter Kelly Rossum penned the only song on the CD not written by Dolphy. Vibraphone virtuoso Dave Hagedorn, an Artist in Residence at St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota, has toured and recorded with George Russell. Bassist Tom Lewis is known for his lyrical solos and musical versatility. Drummer Phil Hey studied with Ed Blackwell and toured with Dewey Redman for over 20 years. The CD begins with all the compositions from Dolphy's Out To Lunch in their original order: "Hat and Beard", "Something Sweet, Something Tender", "Gazzelloni", "Out to Lunch", and "Straight Up and Down". Following are two additional Dolphy compositions, Far Cry and The Prophet. The final track is Kelly Rossum's Rush Hour, a perfect complement to Dolphy's music.
