Claude Schlouch Posted December 5, 2005 Report Posted December 5, 2005 RIP Kenny! We don't forget you. Quote
Clunky Posted December 5, 2005 Report 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. Quote
EKE BBB Posted December 5, 2005 Report 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 Posted December 5, 2005 Gone but not forgotten! His music is very much alive Quote
mikeweil Posted December 5, 2005 Report 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
BruceH Posted December 9, 2005 Report Posted December 9, 2005 Gone but not forgotten! His music is very much alive Yes indeed! Quote
sidewinder Posted December 9, 2005 Report 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
ValerieB Posted December 9, 2005 Report 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. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted December 10, 2005 Report 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
cannonball-addict Posted December 10, 2005 Report 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
