Helped by a varied set of material and an energized Timmons, they have fashioned an album of surpassing interest.” – Ira Gitler, Downbeat Magazine, April 1963\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSometimes in the course of our exploration of potential titles to reissue, we come across a true gem that somehow escaped mainstream popularity. Our new SACD of Matador by trumpeter Kenny Dorham and his quintet is the latest and perhaps most crystalline example of this. There has never been a single 180-gram pressing available. It has only been reissued (officially) once in 50 years. When you hear it, you’ll scratch your head raw that this under-appreciated gem has been missing for so long.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWorking with a soulful Jackie McLean on alto, a loose and swinging Bobby Timmons on piano, and the locked-in rhythm section of Teddy Smith on bass and J.C. Moses on drums, the playing is spontaneous, energetic, and expressive. Check out the frenetic interplay between Timmons and Moses during the long trailing section of “Melanie.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecorded in a single day in 1962, Matador contains the sprawling epic McLean-penned “Melanie” (a suite in three parts), as well as Dorham’s smoldering “El Matador” and a stirring take on “Beautiful Love”. Throughout the session, Timmons, Smith, and Moses provide sublime support while Dorham and McLean trade sinewy solos. Emotional musical exploration ties to a readily approachable post-bop structure that makes for a snappy, yet heady, mix of tunes that put a tap in your foot while engaging your head and heart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChris Bellman cut Matador from the original analog master tape (one of the few that survived the Universal warehouse fire of 2008, lucky for us) and the sound is revelatory! Tight acoustics of the Soundmaker Studios provide tightened bass, crystal-clear drums, and beautifully rounded tones from Dorham’s and McLean’s horns. This is another fine example of Impex Records cutting through the fat of modern music-making to reveal the very essence of the music and the giant talents who created it. We are elated to bring this sadly-neglected classic back for true believers to add to their collection and (maybe more importantly) to a whole new generation to discover for the first time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Kenny Dorham’s Matador can safely claim the all too common distinction of being a classic among jazz connoisseurs while virtually unknown to the casual listener… A fantastic session by any standard.”- Brandon Burke, AllMusic Guide\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFEATURES \u003cbr\u003e-First time ever on SACD\u003cbr\u003e-This Hybrid SACD contains an HDCD encoded Stereo CD layer which is playable on most conventional CD Players!\u003cbr\u003e-Ribbed paper stock\u003cbr\u003e-Full resolution DSD audio mastered by Chris Bellman from the original analog master tapes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003ca href=\"\/sv\/collections\/kenny-dorham\" title=\"Click to see complete listing of Kenny Dorham\"\u003eKenny Dorham\u003c\/a\u003e (click link for complete listing)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitle\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003ca href=\"\/sv\/pages\/search-results-page?q=Kenny+Dorham+Matador\" title=\"Click to see more products with the title Matador\"\u003e Matador\u003c\/a\u003e (click link for more of the same title)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear of Release\u003c\/strong\u003e - 2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e - super audio CD SACD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecord Label\u003c\/strong\u003e - Impex Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCatalogue No\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003ca href=\"\/sv\/pages\/search-results-page?q=IMP8321\" title=\"Click to see more products with the catalogue number IMP8321\"\u003eIMP8321\u003c\/a\u003e (click link for more)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003ca href=\"\/sv\/collections\/us-imports\" title=\"Click to see more items from United States (USA)\"\u003eUnited States (USA)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage\u003c\/strong\u003e - Regardless of country of origin all tracks are sung in English, unless otherwise stated in our description.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAudiophile\u003c\/strong\u003e – This is an \u003ca href=\"\/sv\/collections\/audiophile\" title=\"Click to see more Audiophile items\"\u003eAudiophile\u003c\/a\u003e item.
