HORACE SILVER QUINTET
England 1966 [no label, 1CD]
BBC TV, England. Live at The Chelsea College of Science and Technology, University of London, UK; 1966. Ripped from TV broadcast.
Working with the drummer Art Blakey, Horace Silver co-founded the prototype of hard bop bands, the Jazz Messengers in 1953, integrating elements of blues and gospel within the bright tempos and virtuosity favored in bebop. On their first album, released in 1954, Silver wrote all but one of the songs, then left the band a year later to go solo.
Between 1955 and 1980, Silver made more than 20 records for Blue Note, among them revered titles such as “Song for My Father” in 1964, “Blowin’ the Blues Away” in 1959 and “The Jody Grind” in 1966. His bands often featured the trumpeter Blue Mitchell and tenor saxophonist Junior Cook.
During his fertile period with Blue Note, Silver wrote the hard bop classics “Song for My Father,” “Senor Blues,” “The Preacher” and “Filthy McNasty.” His funky, melodic style as a composer and pianist had significant commercial appeal at a time when jazz was splintering into factions and fading from the mainstream. His “Song for My Father (Cantiga Para Meu Pai)” hit No. 95 on the Billboard 200 in 1965 and year later “The Cape Verdean Blues” reached No. 130. - billboard.com

Thanks for this. Rock fans, check out “Song For My Father” and see if the intro recalls a certain Steely Dan song. From “Pretzel Logic” yet, which also invoked and namechecked Duke Ellington and Charlie Parker among other greats.

Who are these bozos
By Smashmouth on Dec 28, 2019
Thanks for this, and thanks also to Tony Pizza, for reminding me how informed and helpful these comments used to be.

The time has cum for Big O to close down this section with all the remarks from trolls, anti-semites, bigots,faggots and lovers of Sinatras’ coc
By Flavius Maximus on Dec 28, 2019
What about Uncle Milte’s Coc ? Bigger than Sinatras.
By Scaromouch on Dec 28, 2019
Someone who hasn’t heard of The Jazz Messengers, Horace Silver, Art Blakey, Woody Shaw, BBC classic television (British I grant you so the xenophobes might not have come across it) in the form of ‘Jazz From College’ or Humphrey Littleton is not really a fan of true Jazz music
By swappers on Dec 28, 2019
My posts suddenly don’t get put up. Big O, a question for you. Do you agree with the racist ranters? You should be ashamed.
By Russ on Dec 28, 2019
Flavius. I think the posters are shills for the Big O.
By Russ on Dec 28, 2019
Russ is a motherfuckin Jew bastard who sucs dics . I guarantee it . Same as Mark . Right Anti ?
By Derrick on Dec 28, 2019
Derrick, Russ is Mark . Mark is Russ . The same type of rambling and black ape / Jew defending. Obviously a Hebrew.
By HHH on Dec 28, 2019
NYPD stepping up presence in Brooklyn after a series of possible anti-Semitic hate crimes this week.
WHACK THOSE JEW BASTARDS
By THE ANTICHRIST on Dec 28, 2019
Thanks BigO for a new very good jazz recording! Woody Shaw was an extraordinary trumpet player.
By sam spade on Dec 28, 2019
Unlike Derrick, I only post under one name, since I am talking to the whole group and not to imaginary friends.
By Mark on Dec 28, 2019
FUCK YOU BIG O.
By Russ on Dec 28, 2019
Calm down Russ . Geez . Take a Valium and seek council and anger management.
By HHH on Dec 28, 2019
Your local synagogue should open their arms to you my Hebrew friend .
By HHH on Dec 28, 2019
Hey Anti , is Carol King a Jew bastard? Someone told me that the other day . Hope it’s not true .
By Derrick on Dec 28, 2019
I’ve asked it before. What do juvenile idiotic comments have to do with music ? Listen, download if you wish and ignore the comments. That simple.
By Thomas on Dec 28, 2019
Anti just engaged in a hate crime. He better hope federal authorities or Mossad don’t come looking for him. No, “whack those —bastards” is NOT protected speech. You certainly could not get away with that crime on Facebook or Twitter.
Also. if you spouted such crap in public (unless you were at a Klan or Nazi rally) you’d probably get your ass kicked. I’m a pacifist and would not whip your ass (although I’m sure I could) and I do not condone violence against anyone, but I am a realist and such hate tends to inspire physical backlash.
So be safe, little coward, hide behind your computer and spout your nonsense.
By Mark on Dec 28, 2019
Mark , read my earlier post . That simple
By Thomas on Dec 29, 2019
Mark / Russ , you’re way off base my Hebrew friend . You should read the political blogs and comments. Many encourage violence against Trump and other politicians. How do you round up thousands of people? I’m sure Antichrist is not ordering hits on individuals . It’s no more that someone saying I could strangle you to their wife during an argument. That doesn’t mean that they mean that literally you moron.

Essential: A Night at Birdland Vol. 1 is a 1954 release by jazz artist Art Blakey, and a quintet which featured Clifford Brown, Lou Donaldson, Horace Silver and Curly Russell.

Hey you guys ‘ All of you . Chill out and imagine that you are getting corn holed by a Milty ( Uncle ) sized scholong. I’m sure it would relax all of you angry folks .
By C Tony on Dec 29, 2019
I told you on the other thread Derrick.
Theres only me and HHH left now, Derrick. Your too fond of black dic.
You never know, Russ and Mark may be interested in football and baseball from the 60s.
You aint just queer your as boring as Bill.
By THE ANTICHRIST on Dec 29, 2019
I need to know whow with me for race purity.
Anyone can be except homos like “spread mt cheeks” Derrick
By THE ANTICHRIST on Dec 29, 2019
HHH- You are playing the “what-about ism?” game so many Trumpers do. Just because people write hate speech about Trump and conservatives doesn’t make it right to post hate speech against Jewish people.
From Anti’s previous posts it is obvious that he hates Jewish people with a vitriol so manic as to preclude rational thought, so it is no stretch of the imagination to assume he welcomes violence against them. But maybe you’re right-maybe in his fear and impotence he’s just blowing off steam.
You are correct in that authorities probably would not track Anti down and charge him. There are too many racist assholes on the planet to round them all up, just as there are too many liberal asswipes posting hate of their own.
By Mark on Dec 29, 2019
Anti- racial purity is a myth. Many white supremacists are surprised to find how much “other” blood is in their DNA. I bet if you traced your DNA and family history you’d find things that would surprise you.
So when you hate others you are really hating yourself.

No need for me to post as anyone but me-but there are some jealous guys pretending to be me but you can tell it is not me, just like there are some people pretending to be Anti.
By Mark on Dec 29, 2019
Five Hasidic Jews were stabbed at the residence of a rabbi Saturday night. Hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, and hateful words lead to hateful actions.
By Mark on Dec 29, 2019
I don’t understand why anyone would want to pretend to be Anti. I can’t even fathom why Anti wants to be Anti.
By Mark on Dec 29, 2019
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery Mark
By THE ANTICHRIST on Dec 29, 2019
“Five Hasidic Jews were stabbed at the residence of a rabbi Saturday night. Hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, and hateful words lead to hateful actions.”
Very Orwellian. You should go into writing ads for Gillette, Mark.
Thanks to BigO for the Horace Silver which I will look forward to listening to at leisure.

PANTICHRIST is a real name Deaddick? Talk about not using real names. What’s the matter, you afraid that Walmart will ban you from their stores?
By Russ on Jan 3, 2020
Hey ozine. How come you print all the trash that Deadick, HHH, and PANTICHRIST continue to vomit up?
By Russ on Jan 3, 2020
ozine = chickenshit.
By Russ on Jan 3, 2020
I’m beginning to believe HHH, PANTI, and Deaddick are the same lump of garbage.
By Russ on Jan 3, 2020
Pretty much done with this blog. If you’re thinking of donating money to support the crap that’s on this forum think again. There are music blogs that have people who can actually spell, and conjugate verbs that are far, far better places to support with your money. Bye!
By Russ on Jan 3, 2020
Russ, don’t let the door hit you where the sun don’t shine .
By Derrick on Jan 3, 2020
Jew bastard
