The record
A 1960 quintet date pulled from the vaults and issued posthumously on Xanadu, pairing Dorham's lyrical, unhurried trumpet with Charles Davis's baritone for a warm, mid-register blend. Tommy Flanagan's crisp comping anchors a session that stands as a quiet tribute to one of hard bop's most underrated voices.
