Our Take

Kenny Dorham's box set "Four Classic Albums" is a delightful journey through the legendary jazz trumpeter's discography. From the smooth, soulful sounds of "Quiet Kenny" to the lively, hard-bop energy of "Afro-Cuban," this collection showcases Dorham's versatility and skill.

First up, "Quiet Kenny" is like a warm hug on a rainy day - comforting, familiar, and oh so soothing. Dorham's delicate touch on the trumpet shines through on each track, making for a truly relaxing listening experience. It's the perfect album to unwind to after a long day.

Next, "Afro-Cuban" is a blast of energy that will have you tapping your feet and grooving along in no time. Dorham's fiery trumpet playing is complemented perfectly by the Latin rhythms and infectious melodies, creating a vibrant and energetic atmosphere that is impossible to resist.

Moving on to "The Kenny Dorham Memorial Album," this collection of bittersweet ballads and uptempo jazz numbers is a fitting tribute to the late, great musician. Dorham's emotional playing and heartfelt compositions shine through on every track, leaving a lasting impression on the listener.

Finally, "Jazz Contemporary" sees Dorham exploring new sonic territories with a modern edge. The album's experimental approach and innovative arrangements showcase Dorham's willingness to push boundaries and take risks, resulting in a truly unique and captivating listening experience.

Overall, "Four Classic Albums" is a must-have for any jazz enthusiast. Dorham's timeless music and unmatched talent are on full display in this fantastic box set, making it a must-listen for fans of the genre.
