Introducing Trumpeter Kal Ferretti
by Sanford Josephson

Kenny Dorham: Blue Bossa in the Bronx: Live from the Blue Morocco
by Troy Dostert
On their 1955 live recording At the Cafe Bohemia (Blue Note), the Jazz Messengers' Art Blakey introduced his trumpet player, Kenny Dorham, as the “Uncrowned King," a title that was perhaps fitting at the time given Dorham's still-rising trajectory. But even in his prime, Dorham arguably never received his proper accolades, and he would typically be ...
