To kick off the Kenny Dorham Centennial Year, on his birthday (August 30, 2024) jazzleadsheets.com filled our NEW ARRIVALS listing on our Home page with 10 new editions of Kenny's compositions. D.C. Special, Dorham's Epitaph/Extension, Fair Weather (instrumental), Fair Weather (vocal), Lotus Flower, Mexico City, No End, There's No End, None Shall Wander and Tonica are now available. We'll be adding more new editions throughout his centennial year.
Also, happy birthday to Kenny's middle daughter Evette (he had 5 daughters). Evette shares her father's birthday. As part of Kenny's centennial celebration, Evette will also be starting an online series of classes on Kenny's music for Jazz At Lincoln Center's "Swing U."
