Kenny Dorham – Afro-Cuban pulses with rhythm and color, where Dorham’s trumpet dances over drums and percussion that feel alive with sun and shadow. The music blends hard bop with Afro-Cuban grooves, creating a sound both vibrant and sophisticated.
Each track swings and simmers—melodies twist, rhythms interlock, and solos emerge like sparks in the heat. It’s energetic yet nuanced, fiery but never rushed, inviting you to move with it while also listen deeply.
The album captures a meeting of worlds, where jazz and Afro-Cuban tradition converse freely, leaving a sense of joy, rhythm, and endless possibility in their wake.
