The record

Cut abroad, as the title says, with Dolphy on flute and bass clarinet in front of Bent Axen's piano, Erik Moseholm's bass and Jørn Elniff's drums; Chuck Israels also carries a bass credit. Four tunes only, 'Hi Fly' and 'God Bless The Child' among them, which leaves plenty of stretch. Prestige PR 7304, 1964, notes by Robert Levin dated July 1963.
