Horace Silver and the Jazz Messengers (Blue Note 1518) The incredible pianist and composer Horace Silver's first date as leader, here with an all-star quintet including Kenny Dorham on trumpet, Hank Mobley on sax, Doug Watkins on bass, and the always burning Art Blakey on percussion. This is the best of the best of the mid 50' Blue Note era with memorable original compositions throughout.
Record grade: G+ There is scuffing and scratches throughout but not too deep to cause skips or repetitive pops, and mostly just crackle that fades into the background for most of the record. Most of the noise is at the start of each side, then it sounds like VG and above the rest of the way. The sound is classic Van Gelder, hot and in the room!
Cover notes: Heavy board album jacket, barely held together with splits on all sides. The cover retains its charm nonetheless, with beautiful artwork, among the best and most famous covers from Blue Note designer Reid Miles. Presents well in a slip cover.
