Horace Silver – The Stylings of Silver LP (Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition)

Horace Silver – The Stylings of Silver

Pianist, composer, and Blue Note legend Horace Silver continued to scale the pinnacle of hard bop on his 1957 album The Stylings Of Silver, the inspired follow-up to 6 Pieces Of Silver. The album featured his swinging quintet with Art Farmer on trumpet, Hank Mobley on tenor saxophone, Teddy Kotick on bass, and Louis Hayes on drums delivering an assured 6-song set that introduced five enduring Silver originals including “No Smokin’,” “Soulville,” and “Home Cookin’.” Silver showcases his arranging skills on the album closer, a stunning version of the standard “My One And Only Love.”

This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is mono, all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
