Release Notes:
For a brief time, tenor saxophonist Clifford Jordan and trumpeter
Art Farmer were the frontline of the Horace Silver Quintet. This
1997 CD reissue finds the group (which also includes bassist Teddy
Kotick and drummer Louis Hayes) performing five of Silver's
lesser-known originals and the standard "Ill Wind." The lyrical
Farmer and the up-and-coming Jordan have plenty of fine solos, as
does the influential Silver, whose funky, witty style stood apart
from the prevailing Bud Powell influence of the era. Although none
of the newer songs caught on as standards, this set (which has
plenty of mood and groove variation) holds together very well and
still sounds fresh 40 years later.
