Kenny Dorham - El Matador (1962)

As the Allmusic reviewer states, this LP "can safely claim to the all too common distinction of being a classic among jazz connoisseurs while virtually unknown to the casual listener."

Here's to unearthing virtually unknown classics. The 5/4 time signature keeps the players on their toes. You can also detect a South American influence in Dorham's compositions, as he had spent time touring Brazil prior to this recording.

For more from this LP, listen to the essential version of Jackie McLean's Melanie, with some of Bobby Timmons' most impassioned playing (and audible singing) on record.

Kenny Dorham - Melanie (1962)

Originally recorded a month earlier as part of Jackie McLean's groundbreaking Let Freedom Ring LP, this particular rendition of McLean's masterpiece on Dorham's Matador is definitive because all three soloists reach stratospheric heights. Dorham begins the barrage, McLean is incendiary, and Bobby Timmons contributes what is widely regarded as his finest solo on record.

This song swings at least twice as hard as the recommended daily allowance of swing. Get it while it's hot.
