The first release of the album Afro-Cuban dates back to 1955 on 10″ Vinyl, featuring only four tracks by trumpeter Kenny Dorham. However, some time later, Blue Note decided to add three tracks, issuing what they felt was a more complete LP by the end of May 1957.
The original four tracks totalled 18 minutes and 53 seconds, with the first three composed by Dorham, the fourth a Gigi Gryce composition and were ordered as Afrodisia, Lotus Flower, Minor’s Holiday and Basheer’s Dream.
The musicians on the session were Kenny Dorham – trumpet, J. J. Johnson – trombone, Hank Mobley – tenor saxophone, Cecil Payne – baritone saxophone, Horace Silver – piano, Oscar Pettiford – bass, Art Blakey – drums, Carlos “Patato” Valdes – conga and Richie Goldberg – cowbell.
Gil Melle designed the cover and the photo was taken by Francis Wolff.

The Jazz Voyager
Hilton Head Island is the next destination for this Jazz Voyager with anticipation of experiencing on of the top jazz venues in the world, The Jazz Corner. Opened in 1999 by Bob and Lois Mastellar and co-founders, Barbara and Charlie Swift, the early years were tough as the island grew into itself. However, the years have produced a premiere local venue with international renown with speakeasy retro.
Located at 1000 William Hilton Parkway, The Village At Wexford, C-1, Hilton Head, South Carolina 29928, The Jazz Corner offers seven nights a week of live jazz. Reservation requests can be made online and are confirmed with a phone call from the club. Same day reservations are best made by phone by calling 843.842.8620.
Will have a choice of dining on surf, turf and vegetarian dishes with average prices for an upscale venue as I listen to pianist Joe Alterman this weekend. #wannabewhereyouare
