Listening to Kenny Dorham Sings and Plays: This Is The Moment (Riverside, 1958), for the first time.

What's the logic here? Was this an odd attempt at a Chet Baker Sings? 

 KD really liked to sing, had been doing so for some time, and my sense is that Keepnews, probably and primarily out of friendship with one of the label's mainstays, went along with KD's wishes to make a vocal album without little or no expectation that KD would become a Baker-like phenomenon. I'll add that I find KD's singing of  Jon Hendricks' lyrics to "I  Remember Clifford" to be very moving. Also, interestingly, it's Cedar Walton's debut recording.

Thank you.
