Kenny Dorham - The Complete ‘Round About Midnight At The Cafe Bohemia - Tone Poet LP

Blue Note Tone Poet Vinyl Edition — 3LP, 180g, All-Analog

The great unsung trumpeter Kenny Dorham was a vital part of the early Blue Note story, appearing as a sideman with Thelonious Monk and Art Blakey and as a founding member of The Jazz Messengers. In May 1956 he brought his own sextet into the fabled Cafe Bohemia in NYC for his first live recording as a leader. Presented in full on this 3-LP Tone Poet Vinyl Edition, the set features Dorham with J.R. Monterose (tenor sax), Kenny Burrell (guitar), Bobby Timmons (piano), Sam Jones (bass), and Arthur Edgehill (drums), performing originals by Dorham, Monk, and Dizzy Gillespie alongside Great American Songbook standards.
