While today Eric Dolphy has achieved minor legend status among jazz aficionados, when Looking Ahead was recorded, both he and Ken McIntyre were relative unknowns. McIntyre was a classically trained musician from Boston and could play alto saxophone, flute, oboe, bassoon, and even bass clarinet. Dolphy, meanwhile, had just begun to establish himself in New York jazz circles; although he had already recorded with Chico Hamilton, his star-making work with Charles Mingus and his most iconic recordings as a leaderOutward Bound, Out There, and Out to Lunch!were still ahead of him. In this session, McIntyre sticks to alto and flute, while Dolphy also plays both instruments and bass clarinet. The two are accompanied by a trio of hard bop veteransWalter Bishop, Jr. on piano, Sam Jones on bass, and Art Taylor on drums. The combination of McIntyre's theoretical background and compositional sophistication (he wrote five of the albums six tracks), Dolphy's inventive instrumental attack, and the jazz bona fides of the rest of this quintet makes the session as dynamic as it is daring, rooted in tradition while still probing the possibilities of the genre. It's a session that yields its surprises in interesting places. "Geo's Tune" is a driving, highly rhythmic number on which Dolphy's alto work gets aggressively "out," while the rest of the group holds the fort down. Similarly, there's "Head Shakin'," which, thanks to a lengthy piano solo by Bishop for the first third of it, feels like a pretty rote soul-jazz groover; one wouldn't expect Dolphy's searching, frenetic alto and McIntyre's elegant flute to complement the track the way they do. But moments like that are what marks this as such a transformational recording; it never quite gets "free" (though there are definitely some envelope-pushing moments), and it never quite relaxes into a straight-up blowing session (again, most of the pieces here are new compositions), but it's consistently exploratory and soulful throughout.
