 In July 1963, producer Alan Douglas arranged recording sessions for which Dolphy's sidemen were emerging musicians of the day, and the results produced the albums "Iron Man" and "Conversations", as well as the "Muses" album released in Japan in late 2013.These sessions marked the first time Dolphy played with Bobby Hutcherson, whom he knew from Los Angeles, and whose sister he dated at one point.The sessions are perhaps most famous for the three duets Dolphy performs with bassist Richard Davis on "Alone Together", "Ode To Charlie Parker", and "Come Sunday"; the aforementioned release "Muses" adds another take of "Alone Together" and an original composition for duet from which the album takes its name.
