About

Kenny Dorham's trumpet solo is the opening of 4 solos on this recording, followed by Joe Henderson on tenor sax. Spanning four choruses of the 16-Bar form at a medium-up 162 BPM with a bossa nova feel in C, the solo runs approximately 1:35. Dorham leads the solo section with four choruses of warm, lyrical trumpet, his understated style perfectly suited to the Latin groove. Kenny Dorham was 38 to 39 years old at the time of this 1963 recording.
