"Unrealized Tapes", West Wind 016, CD 2016, and "Naima", a West Wind CD 2063. These recordings were only recently released for the first time, although some of this is on Jazzway Mutt 1502. Springtime is a brooding autumnal composition with lots of space for emotion.

There are apparently many hours of recordings with these people from Paris, according to Nathan Davis. Reichardt (p. 66) notes: "Graham Lock in an article on Nathan Davis (The Wire, No. 22, December 1985): 'These tapes still exist and are in the possession of Jacques Di?val, the French pianist who produced these sessions. Nathan told me that Donald Byrd had persuaded firstly Blue Note, then Columbia, to try and obtain the tapes, but on each occasion Di?val had apparently refused to release the Dolphy tapes unless the record company agreed to issue several of his own tapes too. What a stinker!'"
