Lotus Blossom – Kenny Dorham

An important Kenny Dorham work that he revisited quite a few times, recording it in many different settings and arrangements. We explore the first six recordings (two of them recorded under the title Asiatic Raes); these different treatments show Kenny's inexhaustible inventiveness. We also have Minus You editions from our "K.D. Challenge" version to help you get inside this masterpiece.
