Kenny Dorham Quartet

Kenny Dorham Quartet

The Kenny Dorham Quartet was a "revolving door" hard bop jazz quartet founded in 1957 by its bandleader and trumpet player Kenny Dorham. The original band consisted of some very well known jazz musicians, being Tommy Flanagan (piano), Paul Chambers (double-bass) and Art Taylor (drums). Their recording debut was "Quiet Kenny" for the Original Jazz Classics record label, an album which featured mostly ballads.

An earlier quartet featuring Dorham as co-leader with alto saxophone player Ernie Henry had released an album together under the name "Kenny Dorham/Ernie Henry Quartet". They produced the album "2 Horns, 2 Rhythm" for Riverside Records in 1957 with double-bassist Eddie Mathias and drummer G.T. Hogan. Today the album is being released under the name "Kenny Dorham Quartet", though this is due to marketing and is not technically correct. [cite book
