Kenny Dorham 'The Flamboyan, Queens, N.Y., 1963'

[medjuck]

This just popped up as a suggestion to me on Amazon. Anyone got an opinion?

[JSngry]

It is fine indeed.

[jeffcrom]

Very cool album - I'd say essential for anyone interested in Dorham or Joe Henderson.

[Indestructible!]

Yep, go for it. A good one for sure!

[JSngry]

Interesting on-air commentary by Alan Grant too...

[Stereojack]

Thumbs up from me as well!

[Dan Gould]

I've waited too long but this is definitely next on my list. Otherwise they're going to revoke my KD Fan Club membership.

[Brad]

If you like KD, then this is for you.

[Peter Friedman]

This is a good one. I would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of Kenny Dorham.

[Quincy]

I finally got around to getting it a couple of months ago. Why I waited...? As others said fine show, and Jim's comment is spot on about Alan Grant. It has a great "you are there" feel to it.

[Fer Urbina]

FWIW, this and other Uptown CDs are available for listening in Spotify

There is a new KD Uptown album coming out next week.  I don't have a link handy, but it is searchable at Amazon.  Half Note from '62 and '66 if memory serves, with Joe Farrell on one date and Sonny Red on the other.

Two separate recordings of trumpeter Kenny Dorham live at The Half Note in NYC in 1966 and at The Flamboyan in Queens in 1962. Both dates were MC'd by Alan Grant. Joining Kenny on the 1966 date are Sonny Red on alto sax, pianist Cedar Walton, bassist John Ore and drummer Hugh Walker. The 1962 date features Joe Farrell on tenor sax, pianist Walter Bishop Jr. , bassist Larry Gales and drummer Stu Martin. Includes 19 page booklet with an essay by Matt Leskovic with many period photographs.

Hell yeah. 1966 Sonny Red and Hugh Walker! 1962 Bish and Stu Martin?!?!?!?!

Taking that offer right now.

 

[jlhoots]

I hope the MC crap doesn't take up too much time.

I am told that the sound on this is from the original tapes and way better than what has been floating around.

I pre-ordered this when I saw it yesterday. I hope it actually comes out Friday like Amazon has it slated for. Saw on Dusty Groove a January date

[clifford_thornton]

Is Mr. Nessa still an agent for Uptown?

No shipping notice yesterday so I checked Amazon and now it's "temporarily out of stock". So I guess my pre-order was too late? Or is it really January, since the Groove still has it for January 2017? Has anyone gotten a shipping notification?

My shipping status is the same as yours. 

 

[Eric]

I have an arrival date of this Friday ... ?

[Peter Friedman]

I have had  this above session on CD for a few years.

Kenny Dorham - The Shadow of Your Smile - West Wind 2049

The audio quality is rather poor.
