Quiet Kenny is an album by the American jazz trumpeter Kenny Dorham of performances recorded in 1959 and released on the New Jazz label.[2] The album features Dorham's own composition "Lotus Blossom", which was earlier recorded by Sonny Rollins under the title "Asiatic Raes". The tune has been recorded under both titles subsequently. ("Lotus Blossom" is not to be confused with either "Lotus Blossom" by Strayhorn or "Sweet Lotus Blossom" by Coslow and Johnston.)
