Jazz trumpeter & singer & composer
Kenny Dorham
Bebop trumpeter and a founding Jazz Messenger, and the composer of Blue Bossa.
McKinley Howard "Kenny" Dorham was an American jazz trumpeter, composer, and occasional singer. Dorham's talent is frequently lauded by critics and other musicians, but he never received the kind of attention or public recognition from the jazz establishment that many of his peers did. For this reason, writer Gary Giddins said that Dorham's name has become "virtually synonymous with 'underrated'."
