Description

A tightly constructed poem tracing the life and career of internationally acclaimed jazz trumpeter Kenny Dorham. The biography begins with Dorham's recordings in Denmark in 1963, before following his performances with leading musicians of the bop and hard bop eras, including Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Bud Powell, Sonny Rollins, and John Coltrane. Dorham's extensive travels as a musician are also discussed, alongside his short-lived group the Jazz Prophets, which contributed to his cult status despite his untimely death at 48.
