Covers of Herbie's "Dolphin Dance" - whatchugot?

Jimster

Been trying to do this tune justice (I mean playing to it on bass in a way I don't hate) and been collecting a few takes on this. BTW the board software strips apostrophes out of thread titles...

Do you know what, I think it's my favourite Herbie tune - that turnaround is incredible. I have not gotten tired of it since, like, forever.

Anyways, I got me covers by the following artists, anyone else have a version by someone not listed here?

Jamey Aebersold - Vol 11 ??? (Herbie Hancock)
Ahmad Jamal
Al Haig, Jimmy Raney
Anthony Braxton
Bill Evans
Brian Bromberg
Bunny Brunel
Carlos Kanno
Chano Dominguez Trio
Chet Baker with Danish Big Band
Christian Mcbride, Nicholas Payton & Mark Whitfield
Dario Galante, Augusto Mattoso, Rafael Barata
Ettore Carucci Trio
Eugene Pao & Mads Vinding Trio
Grover Washington Jr.
Herbie Hancock x 3 versions
Jaco Pastorius (Bootleg)
Jason Rebello
Jazz Jamaica Allstars
Joey Calderazzo
Kazumi Watanabe
Kenny Werner x 2 versions
Manhattan Trinity + 1
Peace
Ron Carter, Herbie Hancock, Tony Williams
Soul Bossa Trio
Toots Thielemans & Kenny Werner
Tubby Hayes (this is a shit rip with more jumps than Bob Beamon)

Dalto

McKinney (for some reason they sing "A Love Supreme..." like on the Coltrane tune but hey it works)

They have that Coltrane chant, along with other "Maiden Voyage-esque" (Kellee Patterson) lyrical stylings on the Eugene Pao & Mads Vinding Trio cover. That is a f*cking jumping rip too. Shame, as it's a nice interpretation.

I mean, they are all nice, but some stand out:

The Peace one is mad and messy
The Bromberg one (off "Wood") is a killer.
The Carlos Kanno one has a really nice twist to it.
The Jazz Jamaica one is not annoying (shock!)
The Jaco bootleg is listenable (even the sound of the snare getting rattled by the bass amp - the stage must have been stamp-sized)

Most can be found in the wild on slsk or from v??ritable t??tes.

There's a Dutch vocal jazz record by Henny Vonk from the late seventies / early eighties that has a surprisingly nice vocal version of the song on it. No rip im afraid; my copy went to Japan eaons ago...

just spotted a romanian record on discogs that has one too:

Try Rickey Kelly's version on Limited Stops Only. The tune is a bit pitchy but the bass line has a interesting slant on vibe of the song.
