5 out of 5 stars Sophisticated and supple hard bop from the summit.......2006-07-23

Kenny 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 will be all the more apparent.

Each of the tunes not only features first-rate (if understated) solo work but attention to compositional details that were frequently missing in "hard bop" performances of the era. Listen to the title song--with all of Monk's transitions and intertextual motifs intact--or to "Night in Tunisia," which may be less dramatic and forceful than the version with Clifford Brown and Art Blakey at Birdland but is ten times more musical.

The underrecorded, melodically lithe J. R. Monterose complements K. D. in the frontline as effectively as Hank Mobley, and the overrecorded Kenny Burrell has never sounded more inspired and assured, almost overmatching the more subdued approach of the other players. Bobby Timmons restricts his solo time along with the block chord cliches, turning in some of his most tasteful work on record.

While this may not be "the" Kenny Dorham recording, it belongs in the top 5--which, speaking of the pantheon of all-time trumpet greats, is probably the short list on which Kenny himself deserves mention.

5 out of 5 stars The uncrowned king.......2002-03-20

Kenny 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 material from that live-date. You will love it, especially if you already own the two Art Blakey CDs "Life at Café Bohemia", which also feature Dorham at his best. About the personnel of this date, I'd like to notice the presence of Kenny Burrell on some of the tunes. He had finished his first own album ("Introducing Kenny Burrell") just the day before and he sure was in a playing mood. the choice of J.R. Montrose is also a very interesting one. this relatively obscure tenorist really has nice ideas and a pleasant, light sound, somehow similar to Stan Getz or Zoot Sims and he really takes care of business. Bobby Timmons on piano already had his block-chord style, which later would become famous when he was part of Blakey's Jazz Messengers. Sam Jones on bass and the to me completely unknown Athur Edgehill on drums contribute everything necessary for a good groove, so let's say, that I really enjoy this music: The tremendous swinging versions of "K.D.'s Blues", "Night in Tunisia", "Who Cares", a very relaxed "My Heart Stood Still" and gorgous ballad interpretations of "Autumn in N.Y." and "Round Midnight". Considering the originals, I think, that "Monaco" is the most interesting one. It's based on an idea, which first appeared on another Dorham original ("Minor's Holiday") from the above mentioned Art Blakey date and Dorham's first Blue-Note Album, the fantastic "Afro Cuban", which I also reviewed. Enjoy it!

5 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC!!! Classic Jazz.......2002-02-26

I 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.
