Quiet Kenny - Kenny Dorham

Quiet Kenny by Kenny Dorham is an underrated gem that stirs the soul. Released in 1959, it showcases Dorham’s smooth, expressive style that’s as soulful as it is understated. Backed by Tommy Flanagan, Paul Chambers, and Art Taylor, the trio’s tight, effortless performance lends every track a timeless feel. Standouts like "My Ideal" and "Lotus Blossom" highlight Dorham’s knack for melody, blending signature tenderness with a gentle swing. Whether you’re a seasoned aficionado or just dipping your toes into the jazz, this project is a great listen.
