A trumpet virtuoso, Kenny Dorham cut his teeth as a sideman alongside many big names such as Dizzy Gillespie, Art Blakey, Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane, and Max Roach. Released in 1963, 'Una Mas' features a quintet of stars including Herbie Hancock (Piano), Butch Warren (Bass), Joe Henderson (Saxophone), and Anthony Williams (Drums).
A musician recognizable among all, he, along with others, embodies Be Bop and Hard Bop and was one of the musicians who incorporated South American rhythms into their jazz.
