4.0 out of 5 stars Ignore this cd at your peril!, 26 Feb 2004
Kenny Dorham is one of the most under-rated figures in jazz history. He is constantly obscured by the hysteria surrounding his peers (Miles Davis and the like). Whilst Dorham may not have the lyrical conciseness of Miles, the virtuistic bravado of Dizzy or the heartfelt truth of Chet; his be-bop stylings are unmistakable and unique. In truth he sits somewhere in the middle of Miles, Dizzy and Chet (think the tonal vunerability of Chet playing with the phrasing of Dizzy, and the inflective ability to follow an idea of Miles and you're halfway there). Perhaps this the reason for his obscurity, the fact that he is so 'middle of the road' when compared to other figures throughout jazz. But if you're a fan 60's jazz and you think you've heard it all, if you're reduced to listening to Wynton Marsalis and the 'hard-bop revival' to quench your listening requirements, go back and check out Dorham. He ain't to be missed.
The album 'Una Mas' was recorded in '63, and is characteristic Jazz at the time. Recorded just a few months before Lee Morgan's classic album 'The Sidewinder', it is very easy to draw comparison between the two. Both experiemnt with the fusion of jazz and latin rhythms; to the extent that their title tracks are VERY similar (buy it and see for youself...). And of course, both albums feature the ubiquitous Joe Henderson on tenor. Una Mas also features a young Herbie Hancock on piano, with Tony Williams on drums and Butch Warren on bass. A classic line-up and no mistake. Una Mas sees dorham branching further away from his be-bop roots, his playing is more impulsive and experimental than his work with Bird in the 40's, by this time Dorham is well into the avant-garde school. This recording is considered by many one of Dorham's greatest. So please, dont buy a re-issue of some rightfully obscure early Miles or, one of Wynton Marsalis' dull, backward looking displays of technical virtuosity. Buy this. You might just discover a forgotten jem.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great straightahead album, 2 May 2009
By Clive Hedges (Durham) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Quite agree with the other review of this fine album. The often overlooked but great partnership of Dorham-Henderson produced at least 3 minor classics, in this and Henderson's 'Our Thing' and 'Page One', all with quite different feels to them, not least because of their different rhythm sections. Cook and Morton are a bit sniffy about this album I think but it offers two great, if standardish for the time, themes, in the title track and 'Straight Ahead'. The soloing by both horn players is top class and Hancock does a great job of both interacting and supporting. Only 'Sao Paulo' has a slight air of routine about it I feel. The final ballad is played fairly straight but beautifully, giving Dorham's own take on less-is-more playing. If you like Blue Note early 60s stuff this is well worth trying out.
