Horace Silver Quintet with Joe Henderson, Carmell Jones

[Late]

Particularly nice to see Henderson in action in 1964.

Joe was not a particularly tall man, and Carmell Jones is shorter than Joe.

Horace looks as if he came straight from the barbershop. Clean!

But why are there pillows on the piano?

But geez, that's the kind of tune that could get old an monotonous after, like, 4 choruses, but kudos to Horace for knowing what it took to get it there, and kudos to Teddy Smith and Roger "Runaway Hi-Hat" Humphires for playing along, for speaking the language within the language. That's becoming a lost art.

And Joe, year, earlier trillier Joe to be sure, but damn, that guy, he knows what he did there, and why he did it - because that's how you get there, you don't just wake up in the middle of the night to piss, come back to bed, and there it is, no, it takes work. And when the video ran out and the music kept playing, I couldn't tell, because Joe stayed right where he had been.

My guess is they were there for the ordinary stool in case he wanted to sit higher, but Horace didn't need them.
