Rok, I really get inspired when I hear Horace and Stanley together.
Enjoy the music.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Cape Verdean Blues is an album by the Horace Silver Quintet, led by jazz pianist Horace Silver. The quintet is joined on half of these tracks by trombonist J.J. Johnson, with whom Silver had been eager to work for some time. The album was inspired by Silver's father, John Tavares Silva, who was born in Cape Verde. Track listing All tracks by Horace Silver, unless otherwise noted. "The Cape Verdean Blues" - 4:59 "The African Queen" - 9:36 "Pretty Eyes" - 7:30 "Nutville" - 7:15 "Bonita" - 8:37 "Mo' Joe" (Joe Henderson) - 5:46 Recorded on October 1 (#1-3) and 22 (#4-6), 1965.

On this album both ours last mentioned protagonists are playing. Aldo this is not my favourite album of Paul Chambers , there are some nice playing here as well. Here are some links from Paul Chambers sextet 'Whims of Chambers' from 1956. with Donald Byrd and Horace Silver, together with some other greats. https://youtu.be/3op2LT4B5e8?list=PL6A0DDC005EAF991F https://youtu.be/aI3eLPSQbzo?list=PL6A0DDC005EAF991F https://youtu.be/kNhwQFRrS4Q?list=PL6A0DDC005EAF991F https://youtu.be/c0t1-DxX5Ew?list=PL6A0DDC005EAF991F Just for the record, some very nice albums of Donald Byrd have not been mentioned in previous posts. Will post a couple. Again, Byrd with Silver, on 'Byrd's Eye View' https://youtu.be/9E3-z7-hlh8 Imho 'Royal Flush' is also a fine effort with some great playing https://youtu.be/7c6tzCXrqTc There are couple more, all from early years, that I like, but its a quite long post already. Hope you will like it |
Alex, Donald Byrd has one of the longest records in jazz history of producing consistent high quality jazz albums; but even when he left the "jazz reservation" he was still producing high quality music. Such a long record makes it easy to overlook some of his best. I'm enjoying this "Paul Chambers" album big time; that's because I don't have it in my collection. Chambers perspective on this album takes me back to a more laid back time. My ability to go back in time, enables me to enjoy jazz much more than someone who can only hear through a present, 2016 perspective; someone who was not only alive at that time, but was quite active in listening to and collecting jazz, can surround themselves with scenes of the jazz nightclubs, and events at that time. Middle 50,s to 61, was the time John Wright's album "South Side Soul", depicts the south side of Chicago; and to this day, they honor him and his album, on a certain day in the summer; that's because all they have left of that place and time is his album; that's the power of music. When I go back to that time and place in Chicago, I enjoy the music that was created then, so much more. Enjoy the music. |
