Description

This is an original copy of the 1957 Kenny Dorham Lp "Jazz Contrasts", Riverside RLP 12-239. Both the record and cover are in NM- condition.

Some of trumpeter Kenny Dorham's finest recordings were his sessions as a leader for Riverside in the 1950s. This album is a bit brief in time (41 minutes) but contains many memorable selections. Three of the songs ("Falling in Love with Love" a 12-minute version of "I'll Remember April" and the trumpeter's "La Villa") match Dorham in an all-star quintet with the great tenor Sonny Rollins, pianist Hank Jones, bassist Oscar Pettiford and drummer Max Roach. The other three numbers (of which only "My Old Flame" includes Rollins) adds a fine harp player (Betty Glamman) and focuses on Dorham's lyricism. — Scott Yanow
