Kenny Dorham - Afrodisia (1955)
This band is the Jazz Messengers circa 1955 sans bassist Doug Watkins, with added horns and percussion to fill out the ensemble. Two of the most under-appreciated players in their time, Kenny Dorham and Hank Mobley, star together with the legendary trombonist J.J. Johnson. This LP belongs on your shelf.
