Described as "the band of the moment" by BBC Radio 3 DJ Jez Nelson, Empirical perform tracks from Out ‘n' In , the much anticipated follow-up to their self-titled debut album that took the jazz world by a storm in 2007. Produced by Jason Yarde and featuring special guest Julian Siegel Out ‘n' In pays tribute to Eric Dolphy’s musical legacy through nine Dolpy-inspired original compositions and two new arrangements of his work.
Eric Allan Dolphy (1928-1964) was an American jazz alto saxophonist, flautist, and bass clarinettist. Empirical’s Nathaniel Facey explains that ‘as well as being a personal hero of ours, Eric Dolphy was a pivotal musician in the musical avant-garde of the late 1950s/60s who influenced his peers and subsequent generations - we are evidence of that. His influence on jazz music as a composer, as well as instrumentalist, is not often celebrated so, having played the music from his classic album Out to Lunch, we decided to broaden our look at his legacy’.
Much like the previous success of their debut album, Out 'n' In was included on several 2009 end-of-year, 'best-of' jazz lists including Mojo Magazine and Jazzwise.
