Eric Dolphy
American jazz musician (1928–1964)
Musical artist
Eric Allan Dolphy Jr. (June 20, 1928 – June 29, 1964) was an American jazz multi-instrumentalist, composer, and bandleader. Primarily an alto saxophonist, bass clarinetist, and flautist,[1] Dolphy was one of several multi-instrumentalists to gain prominence during the same era. His use of the bass clarinet helped to establish the unconventional instrument within jazz.[2][3] Dolphy extended the vocabulary and boundaries of the alto saxophone, and was among the earliest significant jazz flute soloists.[4][3]
His improvisational style was characterized by the use of wide intervals, in addition to employing an array of extended techniques to emulate the sounds of human voices and animals.[5][6][7] He used melodic lines that were "angular, zigzagging from interval to interval, taking hairpin turns at unexpected junctures, making dramatic leaps from the lower to the upper register."[6] Although Dolphy's work is sometimes classified as free jazz, his compositions and solos were often rooted in conventional (if highly abstracted) tonal bebop harmony.[8][9][10]

Philippines mourns its 'King of Comedy' Dolphy
The Philippines wept on Tuesday as the country's most popular comedian, Dolphy, died of pulmonary disease. He was 83.
Born Rodolfo Vera Quizon, Dolphy was regarded as the country's "King of Comedy" in a career that spanned seven decades.
His passing was announced by the ABS-CBN network, the station that broadcast his hit sitcom Home Along Da Riles in the 1990s, about a poor widower struggling to raise his children in the slums.
Dolphy made millions laugh even during the country's darkest moments, including the 20-year rule of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos, which ended in 1986. In the sitcom John En Marsha, which ran from 1973 to 1990, he played the poor husband to a rich wife, who poked fun at his loud-mouthed mother-in-law, giving comedic relief during Marcos's martial-law regime. The show was so popular it was revived in the form of eight movies over the past two decades, introducing younger generations to Filipino humour.
While he never married, Dolphy fathered at least 17 children with various women, some of whom also went on to enter the showbiz industry.
President Benigno Aquino rallied Filipinos while Dolphy was on his death bed, calling the actor a "revered icon of the Philippine movie industry". * AFP
