Description
Kenny Dorham - Round About Midnight At The Cafe Bohemia: This numbered, lovingly produced and manufactured Music Matters/Blue Note release features heavy vinyl, gorgeous photography, heavy stock covers, and perfect construction.
This is a true gem of the Blue Note catalogue, and one of Kenny Dorham's most beloved albums. All Music Guide gives the album 4 and 1/2 of 5 stars and says:
"The word "understated" has sometimes been used to describe the music played by Dorham's band on this night in 1956; this is only appropriate if Dorham is compared with intense individuals like Fats Navarro or Dizzy Gillespie. Dorham's jazz was perhaps more intimate and accessible precisely because his horn had an earthier tone, almost like that of a cornet. Sometimes compared with Ted Curson, Richard Williams or Freddie Hubbard, Dorham sounded a lot like the profoundly gifted and vastly underappreciated Johnny Coles, particularly during ballads like "Autumn in New York" and "Round Midnight." There are also intimations of Miles Davis, Nat Adderley and even young Don Cherry. This music is designed for relaxing and grooving out. It will greatly assist anyone who is traveling by night or trying to make it through to the end of another day."
