Horace Silver ORIG US LP Tokyo blues EX ’62 DG Blue Note RVG BLP4110 MONO Jazz
Horace Silver Quintet
The Tokyo bluesOriginal 1st press US LP released in 1962 on the Deep Groove Blue Note Label with NY address. Cat: BLP4110. This album is in Mono. Features Van Gelder stamp in runout groove.
Following a series of concert dates in Tokyo late in 1961 with his quintet, Horace Silver returned to the U.S. with his head full of the Japanese melodies he had heard during his visit, and using those as a springboard, he wrote four new pieces, which he then recorded at sessions held on July 13 and 14, 1962, along with a version of Ronnell Bright's little known ballad "Cherry Blossom." One would naturally assume the resulting LP would have a Japanese feel, but that really isn't the case. Using Latin rhythms and the blues as a base, Silver's Tokyo-influenced compositions fit right in with the subtle cross-cultural but very American hard bop he'd been doing all along. Using his usual quintet (Blue Mitchell on trumpet, Junior Cook on tenor sax, Gene Taylor on bass) with drummer Joe Harris (he is listed as John Harris, Jr. for this set) filling in for an ailing Roy Brooks), Silver's compositions have a light, airy feel, with plenty of space, and no one used that space better at these sessions than Cook, whose tenor sax lines are simply wonderful, adding a sturdy, reliable brightness.
Tracks: Too much sake/ Sayanora blues/ The Tokyo blues/ Cherry blossom/ Ah! so.
