Kenny Dorham
Whistle Stop
First Press Mono Blue Note BLP 4063 1961
Markers: RVG stamp, 9 M, Ear, 47 West 63rd on label.
Vinyl: VG-/G+. See notes
Cover: Generic sleeve
Notes: Whistle Stop is considered one of the very best hard bop releases and a high point in Dorham's catalog. Hank Mobley and Kenny rip it up with their solos and duets, and Kenny Drew is clever, playing over a solid bottom of Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones. That said, this copy has several flaws. The labels are Ok at VG+. The vinyl has been played at many parties and has numerous small hairlines that produce a steady crackle. There's a stick on the last few bars of Side 2, track 1. The impressive RVG mastering almost turns the crackle into white noise. In any event, I accept returns, so if it doesn't match up to these low expectations, simply send it back. Hard bop at its finest!
