jeffcrom Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Very cool album - I'd say essential for anyone interested in Dorham or Joe Henderson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gould Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 I've waited too long but this is definitely next on my list. Otherwise they're going to revoke my KD Fan Club membership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Friedman Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 This is a good one. I would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of Kenny Dorham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quincy Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 (edited) 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.

mjzee Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcam_44 Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?
