Kenny Dorham Festival – Big Band Edition
About This Event
The Kenny Dorham Festival – Big Band Edition presents large-ensemble arrangements of the trumpeter and composer's work at Dizzy's Club. The program adapts Dorham's hard-bop writing into big-band charts that emphasize melodic line, rhythmic tension and harmonic detail, a format meant to make a frequently under-credited craft more audible.

Kenny Dorham Festival – Big Band Edition is a large-ensemble project built around the music of trumpeter and composer Kenny Dorham, presented at Dizzy’s Club in New York City. The program adapts Dorham’s writing—rooted in hard bop but shaped by his ear for melody and rhythmic tension—into big-band arrangements that bring out its harmonic detail.
