Dorham's involvement in Hard Bop began with Horace silver and then there is also the two live recordings he cut for Blue Note. There is a sophomore album which mixes Afro-Cuban material with more typical Hard Bop from the mid 50's too. I am not sure about the technical aspect as I know nothing about playing trumpets yet I think Dorham's lack of bravura should not be used as a stick to beat him with from a technical stand point. The point that is missed in this discussion is that he didn't think like a trumpet player and there is a kind of similarity in the way that he played the instrument that you also find in Benny Carter's work on this instrument where he is similarly given over to the histrionics of that horn. It is fascinating to think that he effectively predicted the way some people think about the trumpet these days where the approach of someone like Brown or even Morgan is a bit unfashionable these days.

Have been listening to alto saxophonist Bunky Green's very moving 1989 album 'Healing The Pain'(DELOS) dedicated to his parents who both died shortly before the session.
This one's for Bluesnik:

Carla Bley/Charlie Haden Liberation Music - Drums : Matt Wilson. Wonderful concert, the lead trumpet, Seneca Black was outstanding also, but as you say, all very good.

Great music. But:
As apposite in today's world as it was when Haden and Bley launched the Orchestra in 1969, inspired by life-affirming songs from the Spanish Civil War, and fired in protest against the war in Vietnam
I sometimes wonder whether I ought to listen to protest music when I can't find much to complain about, apart from traffic jams in the neighbourhood.Comment

Just caught this afternoon on the radio :
Jacob Collier with Dominick Farinacci Señor Blues (not available on YouTube)
.
Not sure how this would be classified - Pop/ Crossover/ Fusion. But it had a groovie rhythm section (or maybe digital) and a very good Trumpet solo. Maybe it's difficult to make a mess of such a great number, but I enjoyed it greatly.Last edited by Quarky; 08-12-16, 22:38.Comment
