Torrent description

Kenny Dorham - Quiet Kenny (mp3, 320)

Quiet Kenny is yet another reminder of what a trumpet giant Kenny Dorham was. Whether limning ballads such as “My Ideal,” “Alone Together,” “I Had the Craziest Dream” and “Old Folks,” or investigating the timelessness and intricacies of the blues (his originals in this set with “Blue” in their titles), the former Charlie Parker cohort and ex-Jazz Messenger exhibits his subtle swing, personal sound, and finely-honed harmonic sense. Along the way these reflections and connections with Bird, Coleman Hawkins, Sonny Rollins, Max Roach, Harry James and Louis Armstrong make for a rich legacy.

Recorded at the Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey on November 13, 1959. Originally released on New Jazz (8225).

Personnel: Kenny Dorham (trumpet); Tommy Flanagan (piano); Paul Chambers (upright bass); Arthur Taylor (drums).
