Kenny Dorham - Melanie free for downloading

I don't have any favorites, but if I were forced to choose, I would select Jackie as my favorite jazz artist and leader.

nice flowing tune, Kenny Dorham and Mclean great!

Nahhh... great music can change the world man, and the more people hear it the better our world becomes, but, I guess we see things from a different perspective (-;

9:34 - St. Thomas

Jackie was The Man. Unique and irreplaceable. I miss him greatly for his beautiful music and his kind and enlightened soul.

Wow, I've never heard this version of this tune and didnt know that there was another version besides the one on 'Let Freedom Ring' (which one is the original?). Actually, the name of the tune on the McLean date was 'Melody for Melonae', one of 2 songs he named for his daughter. Thanx for posting!

Kenny Dorham -- the best!! (Sorry Miles, but Kenny kills it every time.)

One of my all time favs! Dorham is at his best and this might be Bobby Timmons greatest solo on record! Jackie is more laid back than on his 'Let Freedom Ring' version. Music magic!!

Brilliant. Love the way Timmons scats along with his solo

Great posting! What Kenny does here is simply fabulous. Definitely one of the swingest and most soulful solos I know. God bless Kenny Dorham.

Kenny Dorham - trumpet Jackie McLean - alto saxophone (tracks 1-4 & 6) Bobby Timmons - piano Teddy Smith - bass (tracks 1-4 & 6) J.C. Moses - drums (tracks 1-4 & 6) Recorded April 15, 1962

And I never heard Bobby Timmons and Jackie sound better! The whole piece is a monster!
