Now Eric Dolphy’s Out to Lunch!: The 1964 Jazz Masterpiece That Rewrote the Rules
In 1964, just four months before his sudden death in Berlin at the age of 36, Eric Dolphy recorded Out to Lunch!—an album that continues to rattle the walls of jazz orthodoxy. Released by Blue Note Records, it is the only album Dolphy made for the label, but it stands as one of the most important and uncompromising statements of the avant-garde jazz movement.

Panda Bear: Tiny Desk Concert
When we heard that Panda Bear (aka Noah Lennox) was touring with a full band for the first time in more than 25 years of releasing music as a solo artist, we knew we had to (finally) get him in for a Tiny Desk.
Recreating his beautifully experimental studio work for a live setting was never easy to do alone, without many pre-recorded loops and backing tracks. But here, Panda Bear’s wondrous music comes to life with the help of four additional friends on bass, drums, and electronics. Most importantly, they also provide the sweet, multi-layered harmonies fans have long loved in Panda Bear’s recorded work.
The group largely focuses on Panda Bear’s new album, Sinister Grift, opening with the glittery and wistful “Ferry Lady,” followed by “Defense,” a track Lennox originally recorded as a duet with Cindy Lee. They close with “Song for Ariel,” a relatively deep cut that was the original prototype for Animal Collective’s “Guys Eyes” from the 2009 album Merriweather Post Pavilion.
