5.0 out of 5 stars The Band that Birthed Hard Bop!
Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2012

If you are a devotee of great Hard Bop in general, and classic old Blue Note sessions in particular, Kenny Dorham's Afro Cuban is a must have. With the inimitable Art Blakey stoking the fires on drums, augmented by the spice of Patato Valdez's Cuban congas on 4 of the tracks, this music defines what it means to COOK! The lineup includes the great Horace Silver on piano and Hank Mobley on Tenor Sax, who along with Dorham and Blakey were 4/5 of the original Jazz Messengers. They play here with the overwhelming joy and enthusiasm that were to become the hallmark of the Messenger's sound down through the years. The stellar compositions which, with the exception of Basheer's Dream by the great Gigi Gryce are from the pen of Dorham, are breathtakingly arranged by the leader to include the voices of J.J. Johnson on trombone and Cecil Payne on Baritone Sax. The formidable talents of Oscar Pettiford and Percy Heath hold down the bottom in steadfast fashion. With this great lineup of jazz royalty playing these classic compositions with verve and fire, this set of music is bound to arouse the passions of even the most jaded listener. Gozar Afro Cuban con mucho gusto!

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Blue Note

This album was expanded to include four additional songs recorded separately. The second lineup was slightly different from the first group. The first side was the original LP and it's probably better than the second half. It doesn't sound divided but can be heard as a unified performance that really swings and never falters.

This is yet another replacement for a record I lost during a move, and I'm glad to have it back---on a CD yet,because the format is more convenient. And, as usual, Kenny Dorham is brilliant---I've always admired and liked his work, and this is no exception.

Great album by a jazz trailblazer. This is a must to include in any record and vinyl collection. Kenny Dorham created one of his best albums for Blue Note and his influence can be seen in other Blue Note albums along with a treasure trove of other spellbinding and classic compositions and performances with so many jazz greats including one of my favorites Joe Henderson!

Good for its historical place. I bought to hear JJ. What I didn't enjoy so much was the confused-sounding clash between swinging and straight time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic bebop given a Latin beat. Some very strong players here.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 23, 2015
Verified Purchase
This album recorded over two session in 1955 features a very strong line-up: Kenny Dorham (tpt), J.J.Johnson (tmb), Hank Mobley (tnr), Cecil Payne (baritone),Horace Silver (pno), Oscar Pettiford (b) and Art Blakey (d) plus two percussionists on the first four tracks (recorded second!) and a small group for the second set of tracks (recorded first!): no percussionists or trombone and Percy Heath replaces O.P. on bass. [There is also a "bonus" alternate take making nine tracks in total]. All bar one tracks are compositions by Dorham.
Obviously the earlier tracks, with the percussion, is quite Latinesque, though not all of the album is such. It is basically a late bebop album that owes its success to the strong line up, many of whom had played together under the leadership of Art Blakey in the formative years of the "Jazz Messengers" (although the name may not have actually materialised). There really could not have been a stronger modern jazz group at this time; Parker was literally on his last legs; Gillespie was into Latin at this stage but one could argue that in this setting Dorham would be stronger than him, or indeed Miles or Brownie, and this isn't Monk's scene, although Bud Powell would have been fine, Silver is the better Latin pianist.
