That looks like a fun, will need to track it down!

If you want a "fun" album of Silver covers check this...

Definitely my favorite Silver album. That drum solo on Nutville gets me air drumming every time.

Got sidetracked and ran into this. Couldn't stop watching, so thought I would share.

Horace Silver - piano
Junior Cook - tenor
Blue Mitchell - trumpet
Gene Taylor - bass

Woof! Horace throwing down on those keys!

Do you have the Newport '58 album? It's one of his best as far as that classic quintet is concerned.

 

[poppachubby]

Still need this one. Funny thing is I just picked up Cape Verdean Blues and Song For My Father on CD about an hour ago.

It's great, but I wouldn't put it on after those two heavy albums. But comparing Silver albums is like comparing pie and cake.

 

[poppachubby]

Gonna play both tonight... very few quintets I enjoy more than this one. Hard bop at its finest...

Beautiful... what a band.

One of my favorite working bands, what a great album this is. Their live sides are the best - all of the Minton's material. One thing about Jaws, he always garnered HUGE respect from all the modern players including Miles and the like.

Lockjaw was one of the BADDEST cats out there. So-called modern players would have been lucky if they could hang with HIM!

Cal Tjader - Latin Kick

So true.

As for this pie and cake thing, Paul F Tompkins solved that question. It's all about the frosting.
