Kenny Dorham • Jazz Contrasts

 

Review by Scott Yanow
Some of trumpeter Kenny Dorham's finest recordings were his sessions as a leader for Riverside in the '50s and fortunately all of that music has been reissued on CD. 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 Glauman) and focuses on Dorham's lyricism.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Algunas de las mejores grabaciones del trompetista Kenny Dorham fueron sus sesiones como líder para Riverside en los años 50 y afortunadamente toda esa música ha sido reeditada en CD. Este álbum es un poco breve (41 minutos) pero contiene muchas selecciones memorables. Tres de las canciones ("Falling in Love with Love" una versión de 12 minutos de "I'll Remember April" y "La Villa" del trompetista) hacen coincidir a Dorham en un quinteto de estrellas con el gran tenor Sonny Rollins, el pianista Hank Jones, el bajista Oscar Pettiford y el baterista Max Roach. Los otros tres números (de los cuales sólo "My Old Flame" incluye a Rollins) añaden una excelente arpista (Betty Glauman) y se centran en el lirismo de Dorham.
