Description
Written in tightly constructed rhymed quatrains, this is the first biography of internationally acclaimed Texas jazz trumpeter Kenny Dorham. Beginning in 1963 with Dorham’s recordings in Denmark, this poetic biography traces the story of musician Kenny Dorham’s career performing with the greatest legends of jazz history’s bop and hard bop eras—including Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Bud Powell, Sonny Rollins, and John Coltrane. Also discussing extensive touring as a musician and his lamentably short-lived group the Jazz Prophets, this biography demonstrates the importance of Dorham’s career.
