First jazz spin ever Horace Silver, what next?

Silver actually formed the Messengers and then gave the name to Blakey. The first Messangers Record is "Horace Silver and the Jazz Messengers" Great record too.

Thats a lucky find indeed if its an original Blue Note. That would be a blue and white West 63rd St Label with RVG and the "ear" in the dead wax. Original BNs can be worth a lot of money.

Also try the CD (ASIN: B0012GMYFK) or LP of the album simply entitled "The Jazz Messengers", featuring Horace Silver, Hank Mobley, and Donald Byrd along with Blakey. This is a great compilation top to bottom, with no "filler" cuts whatever. Silver penned Nica's Dream and Ecaroh (Horace spelled backwards) ... excellent, timeless pieces. Appearing originally on Columbia, the CD is very well recorded.

Thanks everyone, great suggestions that I will be sure to explore.

Grimace - Yes, original BN with RVG, ear and W 63rd label. Also found in the collection another original BN of Silver's Serenade!

I also have just come across a Soultrane original Prestige in this lot that I am going to clean later. It does not look so good, maybe VG but the Horace Stylings and Serenade are both a true VG++. This is fun!

Stylings of Silver is a Blue Note. You didn't say what pressing it is, but I suggest you check the rest of your jazz LP's and try any other Blue Notes among them.
