Kenny Dorham: Kenny Dorham: Jazz Contrasts
by Samuel Chell
In the new liner notes included with this addition to the Keepnews Collection on Riverside, the producer expresses his satisfaction with this 1957 “blowing" album, showcasing the trumpeter whom, after Clifford Brown, he considers second to none. Recorded approximately a year following Brown's passing, the date demonstrates Dorham's gifts as a balladeer, composer and, above all, ...
Kenny Dorham: Jazz Contrasts
by David Rickert
Producer Orrin Keepnews was never one to indulge much in blowing sessions, but this 1957 recording from trumpeter Kenny Dorham comes pretty close. With a lineup featuring Sonny Rollins, Oscar Pettiford, Hank Jones, and Max Roach, why not just give the guys a few standards and turn them loose? Dorham had been recruited for Riverside from ...

Kenny Dorham: Trumpeter Laureate
by Samuel Chell
The critic Gary Giddins once wrote that Kenny Dorham's name is “virtually synonymous with 'underrated'." Which raises a question.

Kenny Dorham: 'Round About Midnight At The Cafe Bohemia
by Craig Jolley
Trumpeter Kenny Dorham played extensively with Charlie Parker, Horace Silver, Sonny Rollins, and other New York heavyweights of the 1950's and 60's. He was a hot player, but he never built up his technique to the point where he could cut the most daring passages like his contemporaries Dizzy Gillespie, Clifford Brown, Lee Morgan, and Freddie ...
