Blue Note, 1952/1953. Used ... $5.99
A seminal, yet unusual 50s Blue Note treasure! The album brings together a number of Horace Silver's great trio recordings from the early 50's, most of them with Art Blakey on drums, showing the fluid, rumbling genius that would later make him such a great leader. But the record also includes 2 ... (Jazz) read more CD

A Swingin Affair indeed – as the album's one of our favorite ever from Frank's Capitol years!
