Those who know claim that Kenny Dorham is one of hard bop's most overlooked figures. He's a trumpeter who played with Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Art Blakey and Max Roach but never received the recognition of his peers. Whistle Stop, recorded for Blue Note in 1961, makes the case for reassessment and is a set of Dorham originals performed by a genuinely top-shelf quintet. Hank Mobley on tenor, Kenny Drew on piano, Paul Chambers on bass and Philly Joe Jones on drums all move through seven pieces with the confidence of musicians operating at the peak of their powers. An essential hard bop moment.
