Kenny Dorham is a trumpeter of a instrument star in jazz, but he is very gentle to humans, and his performance is natural, naive, calm and lyrical.
Its delicate feeling and melancholy optimism are the same as Jackie McLean's (as) play, and this record has a distinctive performance that fits perfectly with the two.
