According to this article, Hot & Cool Latin "...is the first release by Dolphy as a bandleader."

but according to the article, Outward Bound (album) "...(Outward Bound) was his first album as leader,..." and the main Eric Dolphy article, Eric Dolphy#As a leader, states, "...Dolphy's first two albums as leader were Outward Bound and Out There."

Outward Bound seems to be most often listed as Dolphy's first release as a leader:

adale.org link "...this listing is based almost entirely on Eric Dolphy: a musical biography and discography, Vladimir Simosko and Barry Tepperman, Smithsonian Institution Press, Washington, 1974..."

"...Eric's first date as a leader, this is classic. It is mostly known as "Outward Bound", released many times (New Jazz NJLP8236, ..., Transatlantic TRA-SAM-3). It is the first record of the two record set titled simply "Eric Dolphy", Prestige 24008..."

Can anyone find a reliable reference that proves Hot & Cool Latin was, (a) an Eric Dolphy release (i.e. contains tracks that are partly / mostly from an Eric Dolphy-lead session) and (b) was commercially released prior to Outward Bound? If not, then the sentence, "(Hot & Cool Latin) is the first release by Dolphy as a bandleader." should be deleted and replaced with something like, "Hot & Cool Latin contains some of the earliest tracks with Eric Dolphy as a session leader..." (if this is true - I don't know this for a fact and haven't found a reference that states this yet) Pugetbill ( talk) 17:29, 2 December 2008 (UTC) reply
