Figures like reedman Ken Vandermark could be heard amongst the riotous neo-No Wave band The Flying Luttenbachers one night, ...

Kenny Dorham: Trumpeter Laureate

by Samuel Chell
November 14, 2006

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