Kenny Dorham - Whistle Stop - Blue Note Classic LP

Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series, All-Analog 180g LP, Mastered by Kevin Gray

After recording early bop classics like Afro-Cuban and 'Round About Midnight at the Cafe Bohemia for Blue Note in the mid-1950s, trumpeter Kenny Dorham made an invigorating return to the label in 1961 with Whistle Stop. The album is a seven-song set of Dorham originals performed by a top-shelf hard-bop quintet with Hank Mobley on tenor saxophone, Kenny Drew on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Philly Joe Jones on drums. Inventive compositions like "Philly Twist," "Sunset," and "Sunrise in Mexico" lead the musicians down inspired paths.
