Kenny Dorham : Whistle Stop (1961) [Classic Vinyl Reissue Series]

After having recorded early classics like Afro-Cuban for Blue Note in the mid-1950s, trumpeter Kenny Dorham made an invigorating return to the label in 1961 with Whistle Stop, a 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. 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.
