Originally on the Time label, this LP features the excellent (but always underrated) trumpeter
Kenny Dorham heading a quintet that also includes baritonist
Charles Davis, pianist
Steve Kuhn, either
Jimmy Garrison or
Butch Warren on bass, and drummer Buddy Enlow. The results are not quite essential but everyone plays up to par, performing three of
Dorham's originals plus "In Your Own Sweet Way," "Monk's Mood," and "This Love of Mine." It's fine hard bop, the modern mainstream music of the period. ~ Scott Yanow
