1957 studio album by Horace Silver
Silver's Blue album by American jazz pianist Horace Silver recorded for the Epic label in 1956 featuring performances by Silver with Joe Gordon , Hank Mobley , Doug Watkins , and Kenny Clarke and another session with Donald Byrd and Art Taylor replacing Gordon and Clarke.[5] The Jazz Messengers . These were Silver's first sessions as a leader after leaving the Messengers.[6]
Reception The Allmusic review by Eugene Chadbourne awarded the album 3 stars and states "Two sessions in the mid-'50s produced the material for this album, which despite or perhaps because of being one of the historical early recordings of the Horace Silver Quintet, was later treated to a confusing mess of reissues, some of which never really mentioned what was so historic about the material in the first place. Maybe there was no reason to, since by the new millennium the type of groovy, funky jazz Silver was famous for had become so in demand that any recording of the authentic item was considered coated with golden fairy dust".[2]
According to Nat Hentoff , Byrd had lip problems during one of the recording sessions, and he considered Silver to be the most original soloist on the album. He awarded the album 3.5 stars.[4]
