HORACE SILVER & THE JAZZ MESSENGERS

Newly-remastered for vinyl as part of an overall Blue Note 75th anniversary vinyl reissue campaign spearheaded by current Blue Note Records President, Don Was.

This set from 1955 was both the debut of the Jazz Messengers and the first significant Horace Silver album. The original and best recordings of two of Silver’s most popular and enduring originals, “The Preacher” and “Doodlin,’” are among the many memorable highpoints. The fiery and lyrical playing of Kenny Dorham and Hank Mobley ranks with the very best of their careers, and the explosive drumming of Art Blakey is frequently unbelievable.
