Dorham's version is my preference between these two. Hubbard's (Asiatic Raes btw)is good but there's a bit more going on in Dorham's: atmosphere, mood, and his tone. Edit: went on a bit of a Lotus Blossom listening spree via streaming this morning and heard another version Hubbard did with Woody Shaw, a version from Roy Hargrove & Antonio Hart and a Corea/Blade/McBride trio version among some others. Got to Sonny's Asiatic Raes from Newk's Time which was a bit more languid. Went even deeper with lots of live versions from all over the US. Going to keep listening but hard to best Dorham's original!

DOWN HERE ON THE GROUND - WES MONTGOMERY (Verve Originals|CTi/A&M) CD Recorded 1967/68 and originally issued on A&M LP in 1968. Re-assessment time! It has taken a few months (and a number of plays) but the initial disappointments I had when I listened to this title for the first time have gone. I only wish now the album had a slightly longer running time.
Being lazy trying to nurse a bad back… just watched this and now I can't decide what to play next from my Blue Note collection Blue Note Records: Beyond the Notes
Extension - Clare Fischer Orchestra (Pacific Jazz) CD Alto Saxophone – Bud Shank / Don Shelton Baritone Saxophone – Jack Nimitz / John Lowe Bass – Bob West Clarinet – Ben Kantor / Don Shelton / Gary Foster / Jack Nimitz / Jerry Coker / John Lowe / Louis Ciotti Drums – Colin Bailey / Larry Bunker Flute – Bud Shank / John Lowe / Sam Most Horn – Fred Teuber / Richard Perissi / Vincent DeRosa Organ & Piano – Clare Fischer Piccolo Flute – John Lowe / Sam Most Tenor Saxophone – Gary Foster / Jerry Coker Trombone – Bobby Knight / Gil Falco Tuba – Tommy Johnson Vibraphone – Larry Bunker Recorded 1963. CD edition issued in 2012, transferred to digital 24/96 from the original three-track analog masters by EMI and Jonathan Horwich. A stunning album, presented in superb sound and packaged in a (slightly larger than normal CD size) gate-fold high grade glossy cardboard sleeve. There is also a pull out sheet replicating (in full size) back of the original LP cover.
Finally picked a favourite Blue Note record of mine... Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Joe Chambers, Reggie Workman – Adam's Apple (1966)

I like the quiet kenny one better as well. I have this song on one other record though which may be the orignal version. It's KD w Ernie Henry on what I think is Henry's final contemporaneous record: 2 horns/ 2 rhythm on riverside. Awesome album!
Quiet Kenny is a unique album that exemplifies what was special about Kenny Dorham. Going Up is good but not in the same league. I have the Alto Edition version and it is very, very, very nice—probably the best version, period
Is that the one to get? I have an ojc vinyl version. I can't figure out if it's from the 80s or more recent. Sounds pretty good but not amazing. I will keep an eye out for the alto thx! Is it in stereo? My ojc is stereo even though the orignal album was mono only. A fold down I guess...
The Alto Edition is mono, and yes, it is the one to get. Alto Edition (not Alto Analogue—but Alto Analogue is also very good as long as one gets the German pressings) vinyl is the stuff of legend and rightly so. I own six Alto Editions and each represents the finest version of each album that I have heard. Quiet Kenny is an excellent use of carefully made, high quality mastering and pressing.

This is exquisite, great band and Horace outdid himself with 6 catchy tunes, each with its own flavor. Naybe his best?
