KENNY DORHAM - THE ARRIVAL OF KENNY DORHAM (LP)

Kenny Dorham The Arrival Of Kenny Dorham on Vinyl LP! 

One of Kenny Dorham's best records ever -- and one of his rarest too! The set was cut for the short-lived Jaro label, home to a few great jazz sides during its short-lived American tenure -- and the set features Kenny grooving at a level that's extremely tight, very much in the best spirit of his work for Blue Note or Prestige -- and recorded here with equally top-shelf sound! The record shows Kenny at his lyrical best -- working alongside the piano of Tommy Flangan, who really helps enforce this side of his music -- and also getting some help from Charles Davis on baritone, who brings in some darker edges to the record. Other players include Butch Warren on bass and Buddy Enlow on drums -- on tracks that include the original entitled 'Stage West', plus another sweet tune by Davis entitled 'Turbo' -- as well as the numbers 'Butch's Blues', 'Six Bits', and 'Stella By Starlight'.
