It is the most commom one. ![]() Contents • • • • Reception [ ] Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating The review by Michael G. Nastos awarded the album 4½ stars and stated: 'Cool and understated might be better watchwords for what the ultra-melodic Dorham achieves on this undeniably well crafted set of standards and originals that is close to containing his best work overall during a far too brief career. Never known as a boisterous or brash player, but also not a troubadour of romanticism. Dorham's music is also far from complacent, and this recording established him as a Top Five performer in jazz on his instrument. It comes recommended to all.'

Which raises a question. Is it possible for a musician who has achieved widespread fame for non-recognition to remain 'deserving' of the description? Possibly so, if Art Blakey's anointing of Dorham as the 'uncrowned trumpet king' is to be taken seriously. Moreover, when you review even Dorham's more publicized credentialsCharlie Parker's preferred front-line partner 1948-50, trumpeter on the seminal Horace Silver session ( And the Jazz Messengers, Blue Note, 1954) that introduced 'The Preacher' and the 'hard bop' movement, composer of 'Blue Bossa' and the ubiquitous intermission 'Theme'the more's the wonder his name rarely comes up in discussions of the giants. Kenny Dorham was the thinking person's trumpet player. He eschewed the passionate romanticism of Clifford Brown, the dramatic flare of Lee Morgan, and the brassy virtuosity of Freddie Hubbard in favor of unfailing melodic logic and economical lyricism, lightened by a frequently playful, puckish approach. He let the music come to him, using his smallish yet centered, round sound to deconstruct and then reconstruct its most essential phrases into gemlike solos. Besides the warmth and abundant humor, there's an unmistakable tenderness and vulnerability in Dorham's playing that not only touches a deep emotional core but more often than not sets off the luminous triumph of each of his poignant creations. It can only be hoped that the reissue of these two 'classic' Dorham sessionssufficiently distinct from one another to represent the frequently paradoxical playing of this remarkable musician will not only help redress the neglect Dorham has received, but also introduce listeners to one of the more original and infectious sounds in American music. Kenny Dorham Quiet Kenny 2006 The title of the 1959 date, Quiet Kenny, is almost redundant, less descriptive of the session than of Dorham himself, who plays no differently here than in the explosive groups of Blakey or Silver. Thoughtful, playful, lyrical but never effusive, Dorham is, as Dan Morgenstern calls him in the notes for this latest RVG edition, the most 'poetic' of trumpet players.
