Out There is a 1960 jazz album by Eric Dolphy. It was Dolphy's second album released as band leader, following his time with Charles Mingus. The album features four original compositions by Dolphy, one of which is a collaborative effort with Mingus. The album also features three covers, "Eclipse" by Mingus, "Sketch of Melba" by Randy Weston and "Feathers" by Hale Smith. The cover features a painting by Richard Jennings, referred to as "the Prophet" in Dolphy's album, At the Five Spot. Many of the double bassist Ron Carter's effects were singular to the day of the recording, making this album rather impromptu.
