Biography

American jazz trumpeter, singer, and composer whose talent is frequently lauded by critics and other musicians, although he never received the kind of attention or public recognition from the jazz establishment that many of his peers did. Dorham composed the jazz standard "Blue Bossa", which first appeared on Joe Henderson's album Page One. During his final years Dorham suffered from kidney disease, from which he died on 5 December 1972, aged 48.

Source Notes

Sy Scholfield cites Dorham, "'I was born at 8:30am on Aug. 30, 1924, close to Fairfield, Texas – the nearest village or township with a name recognizable to big-city folk,' writes Dorham in 'Fragments of an Autobiography,' from Downbeat magazine's 1970 yearbook."
