| | Description: | Legendary pianist and composer Horace Silver (1928 -
2014) was infl uenced by a wide range of musical styles,
notably gospel, African, and Latin American music. He
also occasionally ventured into the soul jazz genre.
Silver would record exclusively for Blue Note after 1956,
eventually becoming close to the label??s boss, Alfred
Lion, who allowed him greater input on aspects of album
production than was usual at the time. Blowin?? the Blues
Away is hailed as one of the true classics from the
pianist??s discography. On this album Silver introduced
some of his fi nest compositions, such as ??Peace? and
??Sister Sadie.? - .. AWAY/180GR./FRANCIS WOLFF COLL./INCL. 1 BONUS TRACKEnglewood Clifs, New Jersey, August 29 (A1 & B2), August 30 (A3-A4 & B1) and September 13 (A2 & B3), 1959
Bonus track (B4) Hackensack, New Jersey, Januar 13 1958"Blowin' the Blues Away" is one of pianist and composer Horace Silver's most celebrated hard-bop albums, here presented as an LP edition by Jazz Images. Recorded at the end of the 1950s, the music captures Silver at a creative peak: earthy grooves, gospel-tinged harmonies and memorable themes that are as catchy as they are sophisticated. The tracks move effortlessly between driving, blues-based numbers and more lyrical, reflective pieces, always with Silver's unmistakable rhythmic bite and soulful touch at the piano. This LP edition is ideal for listeners who want to experience the warmth, dynamics and depth of this classic jazz session in its most authentic analog form.
Horace Silver (1928-2014) was a key architect of the hard-bop sound, blending blues, gospel and Latin influences into modern jazz and shaping the language of small-group playing for generations to come. As a composer, he was known for strong, singable melodies and compact, powerful arrangements; as a bandleader, he helped launch the careers of many important jazz musicians. With a catalogue that includes some of the most enduring albums in post-bop history, Silver's work remains a cornerstone for both dedicated jazz collectors and newcomers discovering the genre.
