What is Dolphy's "First release as a leader"???

According to this article, Hot & Cool Latin "...is the first release by Dolphy as a bandleader."

but according to the article, Outward Bound (album) "...(Outward Bound) was his first album as leader,..." and the main Eric Dolphy article, Eric Dolphy#As a leader, states, "...Dolphy's first two albums as leader were Outward Bound and Out There."

Outward Bound seems to be most often listed as Dolphy's first release as a leader:

adale.org link "...this listing is based almost entirely on Eric Dolphy: a musical biography and discography, Vladimir Simosko and Barry Tepperman, Smithsonian Institution Press, Washington, 1974..."

"...Eric's first date as a leader, this is classic. It is mostly known as "Outward Bound", released many times (New Jazz NJLP8236, ..., Transatlantic TRA-SAM-3). It is the first record of the two record set titled simply "Eric Dolphy", Prestige 24008..."

and:

"...1960

...

Eric Dolphy - Outward Bound (New Jazz NJLP 8236)

...

Eric Dolphy - Here And There (Prestige PR 7382)

...

Ken McIntyre/Eric Dolphy - Looking Ahead (New Jazz NJLP 8247)

...

Eric Dolphy - Out There (New Jazz NJLP 8252)

The Latin Jazz Quintet/Eric Dolphy - Caribe (New Jazz NJLP 8251)

..."

Can anyone find a reliable reference that proves Hot & Cool Latin was, (a) an Eric Dolphy release (i.e. contains tracks that are partly / mostly from an Eric Dolphy-lead session) and (b) was commercially released prior to Outward Bound? If not, then the sentence, "(Hot & Cool Latin) is the first release by Dolphy as a bandleader." should be deleted and replaced with something like, "Hot & Cool Latin contains some of the earliest tracks with Eric Dolphy as a session leader..." (if this is true - I don't know this for a fact and haven't found a reference that states this yet) Pugetbill (talk) 17:29, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
