Horace Silver – Tokyo Blues (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Horace Silver built the soul jazz blueprint across a run of Blue Note records in the late '50s and '60s that still sounds utterly alive, and Tokyo Blues ranks among the most distinctive of that era. The concept was genuine, not gimmick; Silver absorbed what he heard in Japan and filtered it through the hard bop sensibility he'd spent years perfecting with some of the sharpest sidemen in New York.
The Tokyo Blues Blue Note Tone Poet Edition Horace Silver's 1962 tour of Japan had a deep impact on the pianist who dedicated his album The Tokyo Blues to his Japanese fans. With his quintet of Blue Mitchell, Junior Cook, Gene Taylor & John Harris Jr., Silver combined a "Japanese feeling in the melodies with the Latin feeling in the rhythms." This stereo Blue Note Tone Poet Edition was produced by Joe Harley, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original analog master tapes, pressed on 180g vinyl at RTI, and packaged in a deluxe gatefold tip-on jacket.
