Clunky Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Not forgotten here either, last night won a copy on ebay of Jazz Contrasts LP, not one I know Penguin guide isn't too enthusiatic about this one, as I remember, but I've yet to hear a KD date that didn't please.

EKE BBB Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 (edited) RIP Kenny! We don't forget you. Yes! Funnily, without knowing that today was Dorham´s anniversary, I had planned to spin his two Steeplechases with Tete Montoliu on board, "Short Story" and "Scandia Skies", tonight.

brownie Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Gone but not forgotten! His music is very much alive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Happened to find the Savoy CD of his for just € 4.00 the other day - I love his lyrical fragility and boppish agility at the same time. Blakey called him the king on that Café Bohemia live session - rightly so! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Big for the music of Kenny from here too. A truly individual stylist - can't think of any album where he doesn't come up with the good stuff. On a sad note, there is mention in the notes to the Mosaic Charles Tolliver Select of Tolliver seeing Kenny scuffling to make a living in the early 70s and thereafter Tolliver vowing to make sure he kept the full rights to his music. Without KD there may not have been a Strata East.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValerieB Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 i have loved KD since the '60s and miss him very much. his albums/cd's get played by me a lot. i was fortunate enough to get to see him in person many times during my years in nyc.

Chuck Nessa Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 I had a number of Dorham recordings since the '50s but never really got into him until Lester Bowie pressed me to really listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannonball-addict Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 I would never have gotten into Hank Mobley, Cecil Payne, and Patato had I not heard Kenny Dorham's Afro Cuban. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
