Kenny Dorham
McKinley Howard "Kenny" Dorham is an American jazz singer, songwriter and singer. Dorham's talent is regularly praised by critics and other musicians, but he has never received the same public attention or recognition from the jazz establishment as many of his peers. For this reason, writer Gary Giddins says Dorham's name has become "almost synonymous with underestimation". Dorham also composed the standard jazz track "Blue Bossa", which first appeared on Joe Henderson's Page One album.
