Dorham's Epitaph |  | KENNY DORHAM 'Round About Midnight At The Cafe Bohemia
(Rare & in demand 1956 first US issue 6-track mono LP, on a
Blue Note label with Lexington Ave address & a deep
groove both sides of the label. Other first issue indicators
includethe flat edge, no 'r' below 'Note' on the labels & both
the 'RVG' [Rudy Van Gelder] & 'ear' etchings in the run-offs.
Also stars J.R. Monterose on Tenor, Kenny Burrell on Guitar,
Bobby Timmons on Piano, Sam Jones on Bass & Arthur
Edgehill on Drums, pasted matt picture sleeve with the
Lexington address on the back. See 'more info' for condition
details of this historic Blue Note classic... BLP1524)
Tracklisting: 1. Monaco
2. Round About Midnight
3. Mexico City
4. A Night In Tunisia
5. Autumn In New York
6. Hill's Edge
Condition : -
The pasted picture sleeve has the 'Blue Note 1524' catalogue number printed top left on the back & the original '767 Lexington Ave' address at the bottom, & Reid Miles' facsimile signature is present top left on the front. The cover has survived its sixty years to tell its story with grace. A little faint discolouring & some paper chipping around a few edges is present but there are no splits. A faint price indentation is visible when held to the light but otherwise just some mild ring wear. All text is clearly legible & all in all, this is a very good & very respectable example. These initial first pressings are extremely tough to find in any condition, particularly the sleeves.
The labels have no writing or tears & the UK tax import sticker is intact on the second side. There are spindle marks by the centre hole to highlight past action on the turntable. The deep groove & Lexington address is present both sides. This was released before the label became an incorporated company & registered trademark, meaning there is no 'INC' or 'R' lettering after 'Blue Note' on the labels. There is a distinct flat edge.
The Rudy Van Gelder initials 'RVG' & the 'ear' logo are both etched into the runoff area. The matrices, like the 'ear' are hand scratched. A combination of Van Gelder's sound engineering & Plastylite pressing is well & truly the 'golden age' of highest quality, Blue Note pressings. We really should be putting these in our audiophile store!
The vinyl is incredibly clean with no scratches or anything that would upset play. The quality of heavyweight Blue Note vinyl pressings from this period is unsurpassed & playback is immense, with just the lightest bit of surface detectable during the quieter sections. This is a very pleasing VG++ example. A fine play copy of an ultra rare original & at a more affordable price than a mint one! |  | KENNY DORHAM Quiet Kenny (Limited Record Store Day 2021

Tracklisting: “Kenny Dorham’s Matador can safely claim the all too common distinction of being a classic among jazz connoisseurs while virtually unknown to the casual listener… A fantastic session by any standard.”- Brandon Burke, AllMusic Guide
180-gram vinyl repressing of this 1962 album from the jazz great. Kenny Dorham's Matador can safely claim the all too common distinction of being a classic among jazz connoisseurs while virtually unknown to the casual listener. Dorham is joined here by Jackie McLean, Bobby Timmons, Teddy Smith, and J.C. Moses, all of whom deliver outstanding performances.
More than anything, this session is perhaps best known for including a stunning version of McLean's composition "Melody for Melonae," used less than a month earlier on his groundbreaking Blue Note LP Let Freedom Ring. For this session, though, the tune is renamed "Melanie" and, if not better, this version at least rivals the take under McLean's leadership.
For starters, the addition of another horn adds some tonal depth to the proceedings, a situation arguably lacking in the tune's earlier recording. Also of note is what has to be Bobby Timmons' most intense moment on record. One rarely has the opportunity to hear Timmons dig and scrape as hard as he does during this solo, and his barely audible vocal accompaniment (...a la Bud Powell) only helps to prove this point.
Side A:
1. El Matador
2. Melanie - Part 1

4. Melanie - Part 3
Side B:
