ARTIST CONTEXT
Multi-instrumentalist Eric Dolphy expanded the expressive possibilities of the alto saxophone, bass clarinet, and flute. His adventurous language bridged bebop, post-bop, and the emerging avant-garde, leaving an enormous legacy despite his early death.
CHUCK STEWART / PHOTOGRAPH CONTEXT
Dolphy worked memorably with Charles Mingus and John Coltrane. Chuck Stewart’s 1964 portrait is widely regarded as one of the defining photographs of this singular musician.
