Deluxe 6-panel digipak plus booklet with updated liner notes and bonus track. Last Date is a live album by jazz legend Eric Dolphy released in early 1965 on Limelight Records (Font ana). It was recorded on June 2, 1964, in Hilversum, Holland, shortly after Dolphy had settled in Paris following a tour with Charles Mingus. Dolphy is accompanied throughout by an all-Dutch trio, which includes acclaimed pianist Misha Mengelberg. As the album title suggest, this was Dolphy's last recording date. He died in Berlin from a diabetic coma on June 29, 1964, at the age of just 36. As well as the legacy of his own recordings, Dolphy is forever remembered for his work with John Coltrane, Charles Mingus, and Booker Little. Show more
