The second paragraph includes this line:
"his compositions and solos were often rooted in conventional (if highly abstracted) tonal bebop harmony and melodic lines that suggest the influences of modern classical composers Béla Bartók and Igor Stravinsky."
Why include comparisons to Bartok and Stravinsky? Was Dolphy known to be influenced by these composers? This statement needs a citation. If it's merely one editor's opinion, it should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:56A:F6E0:F900:A43A:13C6:7101:95B1 ( talk) 05:10, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
It says he performed and 'recorded' Density 21.5. Where was it recorded?
No recording is known to have surfaced, though an interesting story is that the composer Hale Smith took Dolphy to meet Varese where Dolphy performed "Density 21.5" for the composer. Varese was quite impressed, according to Smith. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.93.42.232 ( talk) 03:04, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
This article has almost no references! It tells a good story. It just to be backed up. Life.temp ( talk) 15:27, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
Yeah - the thing about Coltrane considering him his "only musical equal" seems a little unlikely, I thought Trane was much more modest than that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.57.45.91 ( talk) 02:17, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
Dolphy's death is clearly a bit controversial. It would be helpful if the article specified which "documentary" cast doubt on the original French story. "..a later documentary"? Cite that source, please! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.162.145.150 ( talk) 06:27, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
A little information in the article would be nice... :) Please see Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. -- Brion
More work needed on his sideman work with Oliver Nelson, George Russell, Coltrane and Mingus.
It's quite a mess at the moment. I have started trying to bring it into line with /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Discographies but there's quite abit of work to be done so may take some doing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cambial Yellowing ( talk • contribs) 23:20, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
