Kenny Dorham
I don't know how I landed on this Virtual Wall of Fame site. I only remember going to Manny's once, as a 13 or 14 year old sometime around 1960 in search of a mute for my trumpet. Back then I actually thought I was on my way to a career in jazz, and needed the mute to quiet my practice times in the hope the neighbors would stop complaining. Anyway, I'm not the story. The story is Kenny Dorham. Kenny, at the time was one of the top trumpeters in the country and evidently also a sales guy at Manny's. He was great, told me all I ever would need to know about mutes and made me feel like less of a kid than I actually was. I noticed that this site doesn't mention Kenny at all, which I found strange. To me, Manny's was all about Kenny Dorham. Thought I'd add this memory....

memories from (my uncle) Steve Chapin
Ah yes. . . Henry. Always a hot experience for me at Manny's.It was there in the 70's (Harry with albums and Tom on tv with Make a Wish), that he referenced me as the "no-talent Chapin" one occasion while Tom and I were shopping there - it was actually very funny at the time, a Rodney Dangerfield moment. But for the next two decades, every time I would drop $5K a pop for PA equipment, TEAC recorders, ADAT machines, Mackie boards, outboard gear,…See More
