Our Take

Kenny Dorham is the unsung hero of jazz trumpet, and this collection of four classic albums is a testament to his undeniable talent. From the smooth, soulful tones of "Quiet Kenny" to the energetic, Latin-infused rhythms of "Afro-Cuban," Dorham showcases his versatility and skill on every track.

"Diz Is Blue" sees Dorham paying tribute to the legendary Dizzy Gillespie with his own unique twist, while "Matador" takes listeners on a wild, exhilarating ride through bebop and hard bop influences.

The highlight of the collection has to be "Whistle Stop," a swinging, infectious album that will have you tapping your feet and nodding your head along with every beat. Dorham's imaginative solos and melodic improvisations shine through, making this a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast.

Overall, these four albums showcase the incredible range and depth of Dorham's talent, cementing his status as one of the most underrated figures in jazz history. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a casual listener, this collection is sure to impress and entertain. Kenny Dorham may not be a household name, but after listening to these albums, he'll definitely be at the top of your playlist.
