Description
When one thinks of great talent scouts in jazz, the name ofKenny Dorhamis often overlooked. However, many top young players benefited from playing in his groups, and for proof one need look no further than the lineup on this 1963 CD reissue: tenor-saxophonistJoe Henderson, bassistButch Warren, and (before either player joinedMiles Davis) pianistHerbie Hancockand drummerTony Williams. Together the quintet performs three of the trumpeter’s originals (“Una Mas” is the most famous) along with the standard ballad “If Ever I Would Leave You.” Even if the playing time (under 37 minutes) is a bit brief, the explorative yet swinging music lives up to its potential. -All Music Guide
