Blowin’ The Blues Away – Horace Silver Quintet – LP – Brand New Vinyl (Arrives in 20days)

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.”
