Charles Davis - Tribute To Kenny Dorham

[bertrand]

Listening to this now. A beautiful tribute from a friend. Not familiar with the trumpet player Tom Kirpatrick but he nails the sound.

Highly recommended to anyone not allergic to tribute albums.

Bertrand.

Haven't seen this release, does Davis play bari, tenor, or both? I personally prefer him on baritone.

[Dan Gould]

Listing on Amazon says tenor only. I recall hearing that he wasn't in very good shape fairly recently, maybe his health and chops have improved? I am definitely curious about this one, might go for an Amazon download for $9.

I remember when I first heard this back when it came out, and was struck by how much Kirkpatrick sounded like KD.

That's exactly how it hit me back then. OTOH, while Kirkpatrick is a fine player IIRC, KD's sound is SO distinctive that it did bother me a bit that Kirkpatrick sounded so much like him. It would be (perhaps) like the difference between an alto player who sounded (or tried to sound) like Bird and one who sounded like Ernie Henry.

I remember Tom from when I lived in Brooklyn. Really nice guy and yes, very big on KD. How's he doing?
