For those people, it's my understanding that the whole series has been blogged somewhere. People who are interested in Horace Silver - Jazz Composer and not just Horace Silver - Purveyor Of Funky Hard Bop (and what is that, about enough people to buy about 2/3 of the promos that would get released?) need to hear these albums. There's also a lot of that dreaded 70s "recording sound" too, so people who hear "style" over "substance" might well let that be all they need to hear before rendering a negative verdict.īut I tell you this, and will stand by it no matter what - there is plenty of great writing on those albums. ![]() Not so hot on Harrell, Berg, or Larry Schnieder, who's on at least one (hold your calls, please, I know they're all great players, just personal preferences at work, nothing more), but they don't mess anyth8ng up either, far from it. ![]() I'm with Paul about the tunes - Horace was still growing as a writer and there are some really meaty gems there, some true "lost gems".
