Joe Posted October 6, 2009 Report Posted October 6, 2009 This description courtesy Worlds Records... "Kenny Dorham and Joe Henderson recorded six albums for Blue Note betweem April 1963 and September 1964. This Cd presents a previously unknown broadcast that predates the pair's Blue Note collaborations. In January 1963, the Dorham-Henderson quintet appeared at The Flamboyan located in Queens and named after the casino in Puerto Rico, the club was only open for about a year, but the music lives on." KD was playing at a very high level during this period, IMO: taking risks, moving towards a more "vocal" style (with a tone sometimes throaty, sometimes almost strangulated)... but without sacrificing the lyricism that was essential to his style. That we get an early glimpse of Henderson is a big bonus. Quote
Clunky Posted October 6, 2009 Report Posted October 6, 2009 Excellent, anyone know any more details? Quote

Hope it's as good as the HARYOU-ACT live set from - when? - 1964? Why aren't clubs called things like The Flamboyan nowadays? Quote
Free For All Posted October 6, 2009 Report Posted October 6, 2009 That is OUTSTANDING news! Some new KD is a reason to celebrate!! Quote
Dan Gould Posted October 6, 2009 Report Posted October 6, 2009 If Uptown's track record is any indication, we'll be posting about this recording's imminent release sometime around Christmas 2010. Nevertheless great news! Quote
jazzbo Posted October 6, 2009 Report Posted October 6, 2009 Maybe so. . . but you can pre-order it now from cduniverse for January delivery. Great news! Quote
Denis Posted October 6, 2009 Report Posted October 6, 2009 Wonderful news. Kenny Dorham was another unique original musician. One note and you knew it was him. Can't wait to listen to this. I love live sessions. Denis Quote

Bright Moments Posted October 6, 2009 Report Posted October 6, 2009 Uncle Chuck can we get this from you? If so I want to order it with the new Vonski! Quote
Dan Gould Posted October 6, 2009 Report Posted October 6, 2009 When the Dupree Bolton Uptown was seemingly imminent, Chuck told us his association with Uptown was kaput. Quote

I love live sessions. Denis I've heard this already (Bob is a friend). You guys are gonna be happy! Can you share with us the rest of the group, Jack? And can you comment on the sound? Was it original soundboard or was it taped off the air? There have been other KD radio shows released as CDs - Westwind had one, iirc - and between the compression on the broadcast and however many tape generations it went through, the sound was pretty godawful.

Chuck Nessa Posted October 6, 2009 Report Posted October 6, 2009 I have dats of the originals and think those concerned with pianos and tuning will be bummed. You will still want it but the piano sucks. This is another of those Alan Grant broadcasts. If I can find my files I'll post details. These new Uptowns are still stuff I worked on years ago. Of additional interest to Uptown fans is the announcement of the 2nd PJJ Dameronia. There are 3 alternates listed - I picked 4 but Sickler deep sixed one of them. I still regret that. Quote

I'll defer to Chuck on the details, but thought the sound was quite acceptable. Comparable to other Alan Grant shows, which are usually decent, even if the piano is sub-par. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted October 6, 2009 Report Posted October 6, 2009 No other complaints about the sound. Quote
Dan Gould Posted October 6, 2009 Report Posted October 6, 2009 How about details of the rest of the band? Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted October 6, 2009 Report Posted October 6, 2009 From faulty memory, Ronnie Matthews on piano, J C Moses and... I can't dig through hundreds of dats and cdrs at the moment but will get back to you. Quote
sjarrell Posted October 6, 2009 Report Posted October 6, 2009 That's great news, there can never be enough KD + Henderson recordings! Quote
Brad Posted October 7, 2009 Report Posted October 7, 2009 Good news about the Dorham. Any more details about the Dameronias Chuck? Quote
