Kenny Dorham – Tromepta Toccata (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Dorham spent much of his career in the shadow of Miles Davis and Clifford Brown, a circumstance that history has slowly corrected. Recorded just a year after his landmark *Una Mas*, this session captures a musician at full creative maturity, with Joe Henderson pushing the interplay into genuinely exploratory territory. For anyone tracing the through-line from hard bop into the more open modal language of the mid-sixties, this is essential listening.
Kenny Dorham's 1964 album Trompeta Toccata would be the final album that the great underrated trumpeter and composer would record as a leader, and it stands as a fitting testament to his prodigious talent. The album featured a stellar quintet with Dorham and his frequent collaborator Joe Henderson on tenor saxophone along with pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Richard Davis, and drummer Albert "Tootie" Heath.
