I wouldn't "bring him back" in the sense of bringing him into the modern world, but I've spent a lot of time thinking what Eric Dolphy's trajectory would have been if he didn't die so young. This is true for Coltrane and Ayler too, but I feel like Dolphy didn't get enough of a chance to make his mark.
