Afro-Cuban is an album by American jazz trumpeter Kenny Dorham. The first release of the album dates back to 1955 on 10" Vinyl, featuring only four tracks and having a different cover artwork. Some time later, Blue Note decided to add three tracks and issue a more complete LP toward the end of May 1957 (see below for details). After publishing a 2003 RVG edition which featured two additional pieces and a different track listing, Blue Note remastered and recompiled Afro-Cuban in 2007, restoring the original track order.
The Allmusic review by Michael G. Nastos awarded the album 5 stars and stated "A first-rate recording for the under-appreciated Dorham, this one should be in every collection of all true music lovers".
Tracks 5-8 recorded on January 30, 1955; tracks 1-4 and 9 on March 29, 1955.
