Iron Man (Eric Dolphy album)
Iron Man is a 1963 album by American jazz multi-instrumentalist, Eric Dolphy, and is the recorded debut of trumpeter Woody Shaw. According to the album cover notes, the recording sessions took place late at night in a very relaxed studio for five successive nights. So much was created, individual compositions ranged from "almost commercial" to "very far out." Two albums were produced from recordings made that week. The first was called "Conversations" and was released on the FM Records label. "Iron Man" incorporated performances that were considered "too futuristic" for immediate release, but was published in 1968, after Dolphy's death.
