Talk:Hot & Cool Latin

What is Dolphy's "First release as a leader"???
According to this article, Hot & Cool Latin "...is the first release by Dolphy as a bandleader."

but according to the article, Outward Bound (album) "...(Outward Bound) was his first album as leader,..." and the main Eric Dolphy article, Eric Dolphy, states, "...Dolphy's first two albums as leader were Outward Bound and Out There."

Outward Bound seems to be most often listed as Dolphy's first release as a leader:
 * adale.org link "...this listing is based almost entirely on Eric Dolphy: a musical biography and discography, Vladimir Simosko and Barry Tepperman, Smithsonian Institution Press, Washington, 1974..."
 * "...Eric's first date as a leader, this is classic. It is mostly known as "Outward Bound", released many times (New Jazz NJLP8236, ..., Transatlantic TRA-SAM-3). It is the first record of the two record set titled simply "Eric Dolphy", Prestige 24008..."

and:


 * jazzdisco.org link
 * "...1960
 * Eric Dolphy - Outward Bound (New Jazz NJLP 8236)
 * Eric Dolphy - Here And There (Prestige PR 7382)
 * Ken McIntyre/Eric Dolphy - Looking Ahead (New Jazz NJLP 8247)
 * Eric Dolphy - Other Aspects (Blue Note BT 85131)
 * Eric Dolphy - Out There (New Jazz NJLP 8252)
 * The Latin Jazz Quintet/Eric Dolphy - Caribe (New Jazz NJLP 8251)
 * Eric Dolphy - Other Aspects (Blue Note BT 85131)
 * Eric Dolphy - Out There (New Jazz NJLP 8252)

Can anyone find a reliable reference that proves Hot & Cool Latin was, (a) an Eric Dolphy release (i.e. contains tracks that are partly / mostly from an Eric Dolphy-lead session) and (b) was commercially released prior to Outward Bound? If not, then the sentence, "(Hot & Cool Latin) is the first release by Dolphy as a bandleader." should be deleted and replaced with something like, "Hot & Cool Latin contains some of the earliest tracks with Eric Dolphy as a session leader..." (if this is true - I don't know this for a fact and haven't found a reference that states this yet) Pugetbill (talk) 17:29, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
