It's not just "quiet" on "Quiet Kenny", which contains a lot of Dorham's best pieces. Casual, unobtrusive and yet haunting, with a melodic and subtle swing, the former trumpeter of the Charlie Parker Quintet and the Jazz Messengers shows that he was one of the greats on his instrument.
Fine ballads like "My Ideal" and "Alone Together" or the legendary "Lotus Blossom" get a well-deserved stage thanks to Kevin Gray's remastering on this LP with 33 1/3 rpm. "Quiet Kenny" is part of a series of audiophile prestige stereo reissues that honor the recordings of sound engineering genius Rudy Van Gelder.
Part of the ultimate audiophile Prestige stereo reissues from Analogue Productions — 25 of the most collectible, rarest, most audiophile-sounding Rudy Van Gelder recordings ever made. All cut at 33 1/3.
Quiet Kenny is yet another reminder of what a trumpet giant Kenny Dorham was. Whether limning ballads such as "My Ideal," "Alone Together," "I Had the Craziest Dream," and "Old Folks," or investigating the timelessness and intricacies of the blues (his originals in this set with "Blue" in their titles), the former Charlie Parker cohort and ex-Jazz Messenger exhibits his subtle swing, personal sound, and finely-honed harmonic sense. Along the way these reflections and connections with Bird, Coleman Hawkins, Sonny Rollins, Max Roach, Harry James, and Louis Armstrong make for a rich legacy. With Tommy Flanagan, Paul Chambers and Arthur Taylor.
