Kenny Dorham-barry Harris Quartet

New York 1964 Kenny Dorham-barry Harris Quartet Bonus Tracks edition

Extremely rare recordings of two shows (1963 and '64) by this talented trumpeter and equally gifted pianist. Composer of 'Blue Bossa', one of the most popular Jazz standards of all time, trumpeter Dorham was a rather neglected figure during his lifetime. Decades later, not much has changed. Greatly overshadowed by the stardom of Dizzy Gillespie, Clifford Brown and Fats Navarro, this underrated Bebop giant was nevertheless a highly talented musician who performed with some of the most remarkable players of the era. Eight tracks. RLR. 2006.
