"Come Sunday" (1963) -- Eric Dolphy

"Come Sunday" was featured in Duke Ellington's original Black, Brown and Beige (1943) suite. The 1958 version of the song, logically featured Mahalia Jackson at the height of her powers, and as such, the song spoke to the power of those Sunday mornings in the Black tradition.  When bass clarinetist Eric Dolphy recorded his version of the song in July of 1963, his disjointed, improvised, seemingly disembodied version, anticipates a Sunday morning yet to come: September 15, 1963.  Listening again more than 50 years later, Dolphy's version could have anticipated a Wednesday evening in Charleston, SC.
