Description
After having recorded early bop classics like Afro-Cuban and ‘Round About Midnight At The Café 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 7-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” provide ample grist for the mill, leading the musicians down inspired paths.
This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is stereo, all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
