Composer of "Blue Bossa," one of the most popular

jazz standards of all time, trumpeter Kenny Dorham

(1924-1972) was a rather neglected and little-known

figure during his lifetime. Decades later, not much has

changed. Greatly overshadowed by the stardom of

Dizzy Gillespie, Clifford Brown and Fats Navarro, this

underrated bebop giant was nevertheless a highly

talented musician who performed with some of the

most remarkable players of the era. He recorded with

Bud Powell; was a regular member of the Charlie Parker

quintet (they toured Paris) and replaced the late Clifford

Brown in the Max Roach quintet in 1956. Presented

here is his splendid quintet LP Inta Somethin', on which

he shares the frontline with alto saxophonist Jackie

McLean, with whom he would collaborate on two further

occasions, the 1962 LPs Matador and Hipnosis.
