Dorham's 1958 Album Featuring His First Public Vocal Performances on 180g Vinyl!
Kenny Dorham is one of the all-time great jazz trumpeters with a stellar catalog across the best jazz labels of the time. Starting out, he played in the big bands of Lionel Hampton, Billy Eckstine, Dizzy Gillespie, Mercer Ellington and the quintet of Charlie Parker, as well as leading his own groups. Originally released on the great Riverside label, This Is the Moment: Sings and Plays was recorded at Reeves Sound Studio in New York between July 7 and August 15, 1958, and features his first public vocal performances. The band are scintillating, with Curtis Fuller on trombone, the debut of Cedar Walton on piano, Sam Jones on bass, and drum duties shared between Charlie Persip and G.T. Hogan. Mastered directly from the original mono analog tapes by Kevin Gray, this limited edition (1,000 copies) is pressed on 180-gram vinyl and housed in a deluxe reverse-board jacket with a sound sonically beyond any previous pressing.
