Our exploration of potential titles to reissue has led us to a true gem that somehow escaped mainstream popularity. The latest and perhaps most crystalline example of this is our new all-analog HQ-180 of Matador by trumpeter Kenny Dorham and his quintet. Recorded 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 readily approachable post-bop structure that make for a snappy, yet heady, mix of tunes that put a tap in your foot while engaging your head and heart.
There has never been a single 180-gram pressing available, and 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. Numbered, Limited Edition, this Audiophile 33rpm 180g Vinyl LP is mastered by Chris Bellman from the original analog master tapes. Pressed at RTI, the original single disc jacket features a ribbed paper tip-on over heavy-board stock.
