The Dolphin is a jazz instrumental composition by Luiz Eça with lyrics by Reuben Fisher. Bill Evans recorded an instrumental cover of The Dolphin in 1970, during sessions in San Francisco (March 28) and New York (April–May), with arrangement and conduction by Michael Leonard. The performance features Evans on piano with a sizeable ensemble including strings and winds. This version appears as track 13, The Dolphin - After, on the 2001 Verve compilation Bill Evans's Finest Hour, and runs 3 minutes 7 seconds. The tune is part of the jazz repertoire and showcases Evans's Brazilian-influenced take on a Brazilian composer Luiz Eça.
