![Wolfgang Haffner - Silent World - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/968f600d-fd1e-413f-883b-f7cbf0ca0b87.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Silent World is about the essentials of being human, a mes-sage which Haffner signals clearly with concise track titles such as InchThe Peace InsideInch, InchHopeInch or InchBeliefInch. Sometimes we're in the world of hymns, sometimes of dreams, but there is always a melody to be grasped and a pulse to be felt, and those points of reference give a basis for the listener to focus and to enjoy the music thoroughly.

![Kenny Dorham - Early Years: The Original Albums 1953-56 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/d33a0fbc-2375-45f9-a8bd-6fcb191b07df.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Kenny Dorham was a jazz trumpeter, composer and bandleader, born in Texas in 1924, who was always highly regarded and widely respected, without breaking into the upper echelons of the genre alongside high profile giants like Miles Davis and Dizzy Gillespie. Jazz writer Garry Giddins said that InchDorham's name has become 'virtually synonymous with 'underrated'Inch. Beginning his recording career in 1945 as the bebop revolution took hold, he recorded as a sideman with a host of major names, most notably Charlie Parker, until recording his first session leading his own band in 1953, for the Debut tag. This 2-CD collection comprises the complete original contents of four of his early albums as leader - InchThe Kenny Dorham QuintetInch on Debut, InchAfro-CubanInch and Inch'Round About Midnight - 'Live' At The Cafe BohemiaInch on Blue Note and InchKenny Dorham & The Jazz ProphetsInch on ABC-Paramount. He records with various quintet and sextet line-ups (expanded with percussion on InchAfro-CubaInch), which feature significant jazz names of the day, including Jimmy Heath, Walter Bishop, Percy Heath, Kenny Clarke, J.J. Johnson, Hank Mobley, Horace Silver, Oscar Pettiford, Bobby Timmons, Arthur Edgehill and more. Featuring a mixture of original compositions and standards, it showcases his qualities as both trumpeter and leader.
