KENNY DORHAM "AFRO-CUBAN"
MUSIC MATTERS, 2 LP, 45RPM, 180G VIRGIN VINYL, SOLD-OUT LIMITED EDITION OF 2,500 COPIES, RECORDING BY RUDY VAN GELDER, MASTERED FROM THE ORIGINAL ANALOG TAPE AND PRESSED AT RTI, CAMARILLO, CA.
"ONE OF THE TRULY GREAT TRUMPETERS, KENNY DORHAM HAD HIS OWN SOUND, WAS A SKILLED SONGWRITER, AND WAS A FIRST RATE TALENT SCOUT WHO IS CREDITED WITH DISCOVERING JOE HENDERSON. ONE OF THE EARLY BEBOPPERS, HE PERFECTLY LED THE WAY TO HARD BOP IN BOTH HIS PLAYING AND HIS WRITING. DORHAM RECORDED A SERIES OF EXCITING ALBUMS FOR BLUE NOTE."
"AFRO-CUBAN WAS THE FIRST AND ONE OF THE MOST STIRRING. DATING FROM 1955, ITS MIXTURE OF LATIN MUSIC AND HARD BOP WAS AHEAD OF ITS TIME. USING SUCH NOTABLES AS HANK MOBLEY, HORACE SILVER, J.J.JOHNSON AND ART BLAKEY (WHOSE DRUMMING IS DAZZLING THROUGHOUT) PLUS PERCUSSIONIST PATATO VALDES, DORHAM CONTRIBUTES MEMORABLE ORIGINALS, COLORFUL ARRANGEMENTS THAT PERFECTLY SET UP THE SOLOS, AND HIS DISTINCTIVE TRUMPET."
