The Horace Silver Quintet & Trio   Blowin' The Blues Away  (Blue Note BST 4017) Original 1st stereo deep groove pressing with ear/P. Allmusic review: "Blowin' the Blues Away is one of Horace Silver's all-time Blue Note classics, only upping the ante established on Finger Poppin' for tightly constructed, joyfully infectious hard bop. This album marks the peak of Silver's classic quintet with trumpeter Blue Mitchell, tenor saxophonist Junior Cook, bassist Gene Taylor, and drummer Louis Hayes; it's also one of the pianist's strongest sets of original compositions".
