Quiet Kenny by Kenny Dorham

"Quiet Kenny" by Kenny Dorham on New Jazz 8225

Another trumpeter, another amazing gem. An original 1st pressing of course. An album which is fantastic. The music is outstanding. Favorite pick is "Alone Together", where Flanagans piano is beautiful in the background. Condition-wise it's great. And very rare. Kenny Dorham is a truly great trumpeter. He has a personal style and sound which I love. He is joined here by Tommy Flanagan on piano, Paul Chambers on double bass and Art Taylor on drums. An all star lineup for sure.

I'm pretty happy with this new site, and the option that's available to leave comments on posts for visitors, which was not available on the previous site. That's one of the reasons I changed platforms. Plus, here I can display the images better, more hi-res and the layout is simpler, with a fully responsive design which will work on all devices. Also, there's a lot of options to put up stuff, galleries, movies, sounds and so on. I hope you enjoy the site, and have a good time visiting. I will try to post more superb original 1st pressings regulary, mixed with other stuff as well. Enjoy!

Lee Morgan's Candy BLP 1590

"Candy" by Lee Morgan on Blue Note 1590.

This is one of my favorite albums of all time. By one of my absolute most beloved artists, Lee Morgan. I'm into jazz trumpeters big time. Of all the instruments in jazz, trumpet is my favorite. And Lee Morgan is a master of the trumpet. He has both the melodic, lyrical style as well as the technical brilliance. This original 1st pressing is in superb condition, with the cover VG++/NM and the vinyl M-. Wonderful session with the other cats being Sonny Clark on piano, Doug Watkins on double bass and the amazing Art Taylor on drums. I love the ballad "All The Way", where Morgan plays beautifully. If you don't have this gem, check it out. But the 1st pressing won't come cheap...
