Kenny Dorham • Trompete Toccata

 

Review
by Scott Yanow
It seems strange and somewhat tragic that this was trumpeter Kenny Dorham's last full album as a leader for he was only 40 at the time and still in his prime. Dorham contributed three of the four selections to the session (Joe Henderson's catchy "Mamacita" also receives its debut), and his very underrated abilities as a writer, trumpeter, and talent scout are very much in evidence.
This modern hard bop quintet set with Henderson on tenor, pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Richard Davis, and drummer Albert "Tootie" Heath served as a strong (if premature) ending to Dorham's impressive career as a solo artist.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
Parece extraño y algo trágico que este fuera el último álbum completo del trompetista Kenny Dorham como líder, ya que sólo tenía 40 años en ese momento y todavía estaba en su mejor momento. Dorham contribuyó con tres de las cuatro selecciones de la sesión (la pegadiza "Mamacita" de Joe Henderson también recibe su debut), y sus muy infravaloradas habilidades como escritor, trompetista y cazatalentos están muy presentes.
Este moderno quinteto de hard bop, con Henderson al tenor, el pianista Tommy Flanagan, el bajista Richard Davis y el batería Albert "Tootie" Heath, sirvió como un fuerte (aunque prematuro) final a la impresionante carrera de Dorham como solista.
