Outward Bound is the debut album from jazz multi-instrumentalist Eric Dolphy, originally released in 1960. Recorded at the legendary Van Gelder Studio in New Jersey, the album showcases Dolphy alongside an exceptional quintet featuring trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, pianist Jaki Byard, bassist George Tucker, and drummer Roy Haynes.

Rooted in straight bebop, Outward Bound captures Dolphy at the start of a remarkable career, offering a slightly more accessible entry point into his distinctive musical voice before his later, more experimental recordings. This 2025 pressing on the Context label is a fantastic opportunity for jazz enthusiasts and vinyl collectors to own a piece of essential jazz history.
