Description:
"The Complete Round About Midnight At The Cafe Bohe" on CD by Kenny Dorham is a captivating document of hard bop in full bloom, recorded at one of New York's legendary jazz clubs. Centered around Dorham's warm, burnished trumpet tone and his lyrical yet driving improvisations, this album captures the intimate atmosphere of a small club where the music breathes, stretches, and develops organically from set to set. The program focuses on extended live performances that highlight the interplay within the band, with swinging up-tempo pieces, relaxed mid-tempo grooves, and reflective ballads that reveal Dorham's melodic sensitivity and subtle sense of drama. The sound is vivid and immediate for a club recording of its era, placing the listener right in the room among clinking glasses and spontaneous applause. As a complete presentation of the "Round About Midnight" performances at the Café Bohemia, the CD is especially attractive for jazz enthusiasts who appreciate historically significant live sessions with room for solos and interaction.
