In 1984, he played at the Caravan of Dreams in Fort Worth, with Brian Lynch on trumpet and Ralph Moore on tenor saxophone. I heard four sets on a Friday and Saturday night and was blown away by the intensity of the performance. He returned a year later in 1985 with a similar group. Once again, I attended four sets over two nights. The first night was good, but not on the same level as the prior year. I decided to come again anyway, and the first set was the same. Did I imagine how great the music was the last year? For the last set, he announced he was heading to Japan with the group after this engagement, and for the final set the intensity of the prior year returned, as he played songs from the Tokyo Blues. It was awesome. My final live experience was two years later, but this time I was traveling out of town and was only able to hear one set on a Thursday night. This time his group focused on vocals and featured Andy Bey, and (to my tastes), the set was a disappointment. With regard to the new Horace Silver release, so far I have only listened on computer speakers, however, the sound is perfectly fine. The performance is excellent. Joe Henderson is on fire. Really good. The highlights for me are the outstanding alternative version of Song for My Father, and of Sayonara Blues. This is a highly worthwhile release. Quote
gmonahan Posted October 26 Report Posted October 26 Got this one to go with the book. Started listening to it backwards with disc 4. Once I start the book, I'll go in order, but there is some very interesting stuff here that I haven't heard before. Great Cootie, of course! Quote

That is cool, and sounding that good in the mid-eighties. Huge Horace nut as well. Thanks for the review, I knew I was going to buy it, but it's reassuring to hear that it's really good! 20 hours ago, SMB1968 said: Repackaged as Early Circle?
