The Jazz Show Episode January 28, 2019

Pianist/Composer Horace Silver: "Blowin' The Blues Away!"

9:03pm - 12:28am

This Jazz Feature is tonight's last one for January as we have looked back to the year 1959 and all the great Jazz classics that were recorded that year, 60 years ago. There will be two more months this year devoted to looking at 1959 but that's for later. Tonight it's pianist/composer Horace Silver and his Quintet and Trio. Silver had formed his first band in 1956 and began recording usually two albums per year for Blue Note of his own tunes. The personnel varied but the instrumentation was always trumpet, tenor saxophone, piano, bass and drums. By 1958 the personnel had stabilized and Blue Mitchell and Junior Cook were the horns, trumpet and tenor saxophone respectively. Eugene Taylor was on bass and a young Louis Hayes was on drums. This album called "Blowin The Blues Away" was exceptionally good....great if you will! The energy and the cohesiveness is very evident and the music has a relaxed intensity. The Quintet tracks are superb as are the two Trio tracks with just Horace, bass and drums. "Blowin' The Blues Away" will work for you, check it out tonight!
