Kenny Dorham – The Complete ‘Round About Midnight At The Cafe Bohemia

As a founding member of the Jazz Messengers, trumpeter Kenny Dorham was there in November 1955 when drummer Art Blakey made groundbreaking live recordings with the band at Café Bohemia for Blue Note Records. Just six months later, Dorham returned to the famous New York jazz club with his own sextet to record his first sublime live album for the label.

However, Blue Note only released an LP with six tracks from the two-hour performance in 1956. Now the complete recordings (with 17 tracks!) are being released on a double CD.
