Horace Silver - Further Explorations - Tone Poet LP

180-gram gatefold LP

Mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio from the original master tape

Further Explorations documents hard-bop pioneer Horace Silver's quintet: Art Farmer, Clifford Jordan, Teddy Kotick, Louis Hayes. The 1958 session is particularly inspired, with Silver penning all but one of the compositions. "The Outlaw", one of his most lively creations, has brilliant solos from Silver, Jordan and Farmer. Ballad, "Moon Rays," gives the band plenty of room to stretch out. Blue Note Tone Poet Series features all-analog, remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.
