Our Take

Kenny Dorham, the man, the myth, the trumpet-wielding legend. In this compilation of four classic albums, Dorham showcases his versatility and skill across different genres and settings.

First up, we have "Afro-Cuban" where Dorham effortlessly melds Latin rhythms with his signature jazz sound. The result? A toe-tapping, hip-swaying extravaganza that will have you reaching for the nearest mojito.

Next, we dive into "Round About Midnight At The Cafe Bohemia" where Dorham and his band create a smoky, late-night vibe that is as cool as a cucumber. The interplay between the musicians is nothing short of magical, transporting you to a dimly lit jazz club in the heart of New York City.

Moving on to "Jazz Contrasts," Dorham explores the full spectrum of emotions through his horn. From smooth ballads to frenetic bebop, this album is a rollercoaster of sound that will leave you breathless and begging for more.

And finally, we come to "Whistle Stop," a fitting end to this musical journey. Dorham's playing is sharp, his melodies infectious, and his bandmates are on fire. This album is the perfect fusion of tradition and innovation, a testament to Dorham's timeless talent.

In conclusion, "Four Classic Albums" is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado. Kenny Dorham's genius shines through on every track, making this compilation a true treasure trove of musical delights. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
