Description

New Vinyl Record – Silver, Horace – Serenade To A Soul Sister

(Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition)

Horace Silverhad been delivering hard bop classic after hard bop classic for more than a decade when he shifted gears and began moving into more groovy territory with 1966sThe Jody Grind. When the pianist next went into Van Gelder Studio in 1968 he kept it funky with another memorable soul jazz outing onSerenade to a Soul Sister. The album, which presented six Silver originals, was recorded between two sessions held a month apart with two different quintets. The first date featuredStanley Turrentineon tenor saxophone,Charles Tolliveron trumpet,Bob Cranshawon bass, andMickey Rokeron drums, and produced Side 1 of the LP including the high-octane opener Psychedelic Sally and the groove waltz Serenade to a Soul Sister. The second date also featured Tolliver but withBennie Maupinon tenor saxophone,John Williamson bass, andBilly Cobhamon drums. The three tunes captured by the latter quintet comprise Side 2 including the percolating Jungle Juice and tender ballad Next Time I Fall In Love which closes the album.
