Yeah, I've indulged in a few Dolphy pieces.
Personally,
Interstellar Space is the worst of Coltrane I've heard, and I could see a lot of things being better than it.
Out to Lunch (Dolphy) is great, but I only manage to feel it on a technical level. Maybe that's because I'm unfamiliar with it, but most of Coltrane's music is immediately technical and spiritual to some extent.
Perhaps I'm just too familiar with Coltrane at the point. Dolphy is definitely worth investigating further though.
