Average Rating:
 Rating: - Has got to be one of the finest in the genreThis cd is great because it is truly honest and shows just how gifted some of these jazzers were back in the 50's. I mean the playing is so elegant, tight, complex and just so entertaining that i was shocked!. The music is a great misxture of swinging and be bop jazz as it's meant to be. Cd sound is great. And all the soloist are of the first order. Really a recommended gemm that should be in every jazz fan collection. Rating: - Sharp Sword under Smooth Water As much as I like Dorham's collaborations with Joe Henderson (una mas, in'n out, trumpet tocatta, page one) and Hank Mobley (whistle stop, afro-cuban) you really have to tip your porkpie hat to Dorham's own working group, as documented on this album. Here is one of the most interesting lineups in all of the blue note catalog, it's a mix that challenges itself, yet is cohesive in a smoothly angular way (think of a sharp sword submerged under running water), and above all interesting. Some players seem to come out of nowhere and just blow your mind with the uniquness of their playing; J.R. Monterose is on of these (do yourself a big favor and check out his "The Message", or the self titled blue note offering that is only available as a japanese ... Read More: Rating: - Sophisticated and supple hard bop from the summitKenny Dorham was a musician's musician, the thinking person's trumpet player (though the emotions are personal and deep, even if not instantaneous or obvious). His tone is light but round and always centered, capable of sounding vulnerable and breathy one instant and dynamically brilliant and virtuosic the next. Since Kenny is the least "showy" of trumpet players, my hunch is that this Dorham-led date will not impress the uniniated overly much and that it should probably be purchased after one of his later studio sessions or his dates with Art Blakey ("Live at the Cafe Bohemia") or Horace Silver ("The Jazz Messengers"). Once you've acquired a taste for the Dorham sound--which, incidentally, can be addictive--the pleasures of the present session ... Read More: Rating: - The uncrowned kingKenny Dorham was such a great trumpet player, but even considering the fact, that his recording period spanned about 20 years, starting with important contributions in the forties, when he played with Charlie Parker, Bud Powell and others, it quite seems, that he largely was taken for granted by the wider audience, which paid most of the attention to more glamorous players, namely Dizzy and Miles. But listening to Kenny Dorham's Blue Note recordings you will notice, that he had it all: A beautiful, slightly bittersweet sound, really nice, long lines and a great knowledge about chord-progressions. Of course, he also was a great composer. This latest reissue from the RVG-Series offers for the first time the possibility to really listen to all recorded ... Read More: Rating: - FANTASTIC!!! Classic JazzI just picked this album up today and I was blown away. First of all, despite being a mono recording, the sound is awesome; clarity and depth are excellent. I have shied away from previous mono recordings, as they tend to get muddied, but this music suffers no such fate. Kenny Dorham sounds as good as I've ever heard him, and Bobby Timmons was just beginning to shine. If you are a fan of classic jazz, this is a must-have for your collection. |
