I heard one track of a record in the radio and would like to
know the name of the record (plus other details). The group
included Ron Carter, Eric Dolphy, Mal Waldron, George Duvivier
and Charlie Persip and was (presumably) under the leadership
of Ron Carter. Ron Carter played bowed bass and Duvivier played
pizzicato (a very interesting combination).
The track was 'Softly as in a Morning Sunrise' and was recorded
in 1961. Any other details about other cooperations of Carter
and Dolphy would be accepted gratefully.

The re-issue dates from 1975. One half (one LP) was the record you speak of. The other is even better and features Booker Little in addition to Carter and Dolphy. Great transitional music, halfway between post-bop changes and Ornette revolution. As you can hear from the Carter/Dolphy/Waldron/Persip/Duvivier, Dolphy's wide interval jumps were already well defined, but he had not yet adopted his 'birds' approach: hear the music, forget the rules Marcel Simon
