Nice Latin-tinged hard bop, very enjoyable. Not much else to say about it. All interested in jazz should give it a try
In memory of the late great Horace Silver: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFjmWI-d6d4 << not least, he was Blue Note Records best overall selling artist. This financed a lot of more experimental stuff and kept the company afloat during some difficult jazz times. He never compromised--he was always Horace Silver. The album this is from is stunning. http://www.allmusic.com/album/song-for-m...0000241423 Another 2 tunes, not from this album but entirely in keeping with his soul: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFjmWI-d6d4 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=701OponWbSU << a 2-fer: "The African Queen" and "Cape Verdean Blues" Now a couple showing his joyous side: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5lr_nrPRYk << this has some hip vocals and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jnc-y2D5RBg << Comment #4 lists personnel. Hint: they're all killers. This set is 26 years after it first appeared, prolly played it a zillion times, yet still brings a freshness to it (and I mean him, not those young-stud sidemen--you'd expect them to.)
