Blue Spring Shuffle – Kenny Dorham

This is Kenny Dorham's third transformation of his simple seemingly minor riff blues, which was each time recorded under a different title. Here he adds a two-chorus secondary blues line theme which ingeniously sets up then continues after the bass solo. We've expanded Kenny's quartet arrangement to a quintet setting for our "K.D. Challenge" version.
