DORHAM,KENNY - WHISTLE STOP - BLUE NOTE CLASSIC VINYL EDITION Vinyl LP

After having recorded early bop classics like  Afro-Cuban  and  'Round About Midnight at the Café Bohemia  for Blue Note in the mid-1950s, trumpeter Kenny Dorham made an invigorating return to the label in 1961 with  Whistle Stop . The album is a seven-song set of Dorham originals performed by a top-shelf hard bop quintet with  Hank Mobley  on tenor saxophone,  Kenny Drew  on piano,  Paul Chambers  on bass, and  Philly Joe Jones  on drums. Inventive compositions like "Philly Twist," "Sunset," and "Sunrise In Mexico" provide ample grist for the mill, leading the musicians down inspired paths.

This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is stereo, all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
