Biography

Dolphin plays acoustic bass and bass guitar (including piccolo bass).[1] He played locally in Pittsburgh from the age of 15.[1] After high school he joined Wynton Marsalis's band.[1] The AllMusic reviewer of his 1993 album Portrait of Adrian observed that "Dolphin's tone is round and full, and he's got an agile technique. Certainly the late Paul Chambers must have been an influence; like Chambers, Dolphin tends to place his unfussy improvisations in the instrument's lower register. Consequently, his lines are solidly melodic and generally to the point."[2] Dolphin played piccolo bass on his 2006 album Ming.[3][4]
