		Throughout his career, Kenny Dorham was almost famous for being underrated since he was consistently overshadowed by Dizzy Gillespie, Fats Navarro, Miles Davis, Clifford Brown, and Lee Morgan.
		Dorham was never an influential force himself but a talented bop-oriented trumpeter and an excellent composer who played in some very significant bands.
		During 1948-1949, Dorham was the trumpeter in the Charlie Parker Quintet.

	Kenny Dorham: The Hard Bop Homepage
		Kenny was a singularly gifted instrumentalist and improvisor who distinguished himself in Bebop but really came into his own during the Hard Bop period when his mature playing graced the Jazz Messengers and the Max Roach Quintet, both quintessential groups of the genre.
		From the 1950's onwards, Dorham occasionally led groups of his own--the first was called The Jazz Prophets--and gave early and crucial exposure to such younger men as Bobby Timmons, Herbie Hancock, Joe Henderson, Charles Davis, Kenny Burrell, Butch Warren and Tony Williams.
		Dorham was a consultant for the Harlem Youth Act anti-poverty program in New York, and a member of the board of the New York Neophonic Orchestra.

	Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Perhaps Dorham was underrated since he was not an influential innovator.
		Along side of the veteran Butch Warren on bass, Dorham used Joe Henderson on tenor sax (this was Joe's first recording), Herbie Hancock on piano, and Tony Williams (a mere 17 years old) on drums.
		Dorham may have been underrated throughout his career, but that doesn't mean he should be forgotten.

		This has to be Kenny Dorham's greatest album, both as trumpeter and composer.
		All the compositions are brilliant,nothing is "routine", and Kenny and the group play at the top of their game, but with great sensitivity for the sense of the music and for each other.

		Kenny Dorham never made it to the upper echelon of jazz luminaries.
		"Quiet Kenny" (1959) is a good view of the trumpeter's bop influences.
		That particular song stands as an example of the versatility that Dorham commanded on the trumpet, with or without support of the greats that he played with during the fifties.

		In "Afrodisia," for example, Kenny Dorham’s writing features a chopped percussive edge, aided by Cecil Payne’s baritone sax bottom that frames a trumpet and conga banquet.
		Furthermore, Dorham’s melodic stabs offer a bright colorful harmonic palette of their own with a relaxed sense of the beat.
		Listening to Dorham and Co. on these tunes —after the immediately preceding Latin forays— reveals a higher sense of flowing security, forcefulness and initiative.

		Both dates feature trumpeter Kenny Dorham and altoist Jackie McLean (two very compatible players) although the rhythm sections (pianist Bobby Timmons or Walter Bishop, bassist Teddy Smith or Leroy Vinnegar and drummer J.C. Moses or Art Taylor) differ between the two sessions.
		McLean was beginning to look forward and be influenced by the avant-garde; the passion he puts into his tone on such tunes as "Smile," "Beautiful Love," "It Could Happen to You" and "Lover Man" is memorable.
		Dorham was able to keep up with the times during this era and his three compositions (particularly "El Matador" and "Una Mas") add a lot to the music.

		Dorham played around New York City in the early '50s, then in 1954, joined Horace Silver in the first edition of what later became Art Blakey's long running Jazz Messengers.
		Universally admired by his contemporaries, his death from liver failure in December 1972 led unfairly to a decline in awareness of his stature as a fine modern musician.

		I tried to pick out my favorite cuts from this CD for a compilation disc I was making, but I couldn't come up with one or two because the whole album cooks.
		Kenny Dorham, besides being a prolific composer (in more styles than one), is one hell of a player; and the unit assembled here:Cecil Payne, J.J. Johnson, Oscar Pettiford, 'Potato' Valdez, and Blakey, know the Afro-Cubano genre as well as any - and it shows.
		There is no lack of creativity on Kenny's part, each of his solos (and Hank's) are very artistic and addictive.
