Eric Dolphy – Something Sweet, Something Tender (1964)
Second track on the album Out to Lunch by Eric Dolphy.
Much has been written about Dolphy’s odd time signatures, wide-interval leaps, and flirtations with atonality. And those preoccupations reach their peak on Out to Lunch, which is less rooted in bop tradition than anything Dolphy had ever done. [source]

Eric Dolphy/Booker Little quintet – Aggression (1961)
Aggression is recorded July 16, 1961. It appears on the second of three sets that document the Eric Dolphy / Booker Little quintet’s playing at the Five Spot
At the Five Spot volumes one and two is a pair of jazz albums documenting one night (16 July 1961) from the end of Eric Dolphy and Booker Little’s two-week residency at the Five Spot in New York. This was the only night to be recorded; the engineer was Rudy Van Gelder. [source]
An excellent set that records what may have been Dolphy’s finest group ever, as well as one of that era’s best working bands. [source]
