Out to Lunch is considered Eric Dolphy's recorded masterpiece, a work of brilliant complexity that pulls the listener into its ceaseless flow, famously described as "too out to be in, too in to be
out." Fundamental to the foundation of free jazz, Dolphy was hailed by Charles Mingus as the most perceptive interpreter of his music, and Coltrane considered him his only musical equal.

The new group, Out To Lunch, offers a fresh review of these classic compositions, as well as other obscure Dolphy-related works found in Gunther Schuller's 'attic.' With messengers Russ Johnson on trumpet, Myra Melford on piano, Brad Jones on bass, George Schuller on drums and Roy Nathanson on reeds, these artists are uniquely qualified to reinterpret this music - each artist pursuing a similar aesthetic to Dolphy in their use of written forms approached from many stylistic angles.

"Sometimes", wrote Lucretius, "at uncertain times and places, the eternal, universal fall of the atoms is disturbed by a very slight deviation - the clinamen". The unpredicted swerve of one atom which in collision creates a multiplicity of worlds, gives its name to the Clinamen Ensemble, featuring Micha'l Attias on alto saxophone, Ellery Eskelin on tenor saxophone, Mark Taylor on French horn, Matt Moran on vibraphone, Brad Jones on bass, and Satoshi Takeishi on percussion. Meters in meltdown, something like Klee's checkerboard all right angles softened by breath, a two becoming three becoming one, Attias' music is a turbulent flow of time and color.
