Horace Silver 5tet Pretty Eyes 1964

[@robertgerard7055]

Trumpet player Carmell Jones plays wonderful melodically and technical. Let's not forget to praise him too.

[@charleseshun6897]

I am with you on that. Mr Jones' elegant style is a technical masterpiece!

[@winstonwolfe5733]

[@davidgonzales2249]

Great Tune by Horace.One of many.

[@stevegullins9479]

No Question Jones is great, Blue Mitchell in my opinion was the best with Horace.

[@billpresing5568]

@@stevegullins9479 Agreed, Blue was an outstanding trumpet man,but sadly overlooked and underrated. I always felt the raw and soulful way he played way down deep. Lay yourself down neath the strength of Brass Mr. Blue, you did an outstanding job...R.I.P.

[@stevegullins9479]

Jazz Genius Horace Silver, was my mentor on jazz piano. I met him 1974 in my hometown Washington D.C. and his influence pushed me into being a Jazz Piano player myself. I wish that same influence was still with us today in Jazz Music.

[@artisms7799]

Joe is so underrated. He’s a top 5 tenor player of all time!!!

Tough list to build though.

Silver's soul and melodic approach is unbeatable. The way is loops through his own ideas to prepare the next phase of his solo and the percusion he puts in it are absolutely stunning.

[@heirling25]

@@d4cyneburg490 lol, all credit for my taste in music should be given to my Dad. He exposed me to Horace and other jazz and classical greats at a very young age. For some reason your cuz's music seemed to resonate and connect with me more than other greats (who i also like) starting with his trio album with Art Blakey and Gene Ramey/Curly Russell (which i believe may have been his first album where he was the leader) and on several albums thereafter --i was about 5 years old when my pops sat me down and had me listen to his music--my ears exploded upon hearing. Lol I'm 55 now and still listening -- still moves me all kinds of ways.

I want to say this is my favorite Horace Silver composition, but he's got so many outstanding songs I can't stamp one as the absolute best. But Pretty Eyes is fantastic.

[@JohnBaileyVIDS]

Joe Henderson is a gift, a wonderful beast on sax, delightful.

[@slimdugger99]

I don’t think that the tenor player is Henderson, I think that it’s Bennie Maupin. Maupin and Henderson resembled each other and both recorded with Silver. This film shows the group with Bennie on Tenor and Roger Humphries on drums.

[@slimdugger99]

I now believe my ears and think that it’s Joe on Tenor, but my eyes can’t tell the difference.

[@eleven57icare]

Damn, this is so beautiful. Horace had just written this, as he announced. They hadn't recorded it yet and it sounds like they were still kind of working it out, even though their solos are nothing less than brilliant in creativity. Carmel was only briefly with Horace Silver and by the time they recorded this title for the "Cape Verdean Blues" LP, Woody Shaw was now on the band, and Horace added the intro for the album recording, which is not heard here. So interesting that playing live really brings out an inventive creativity that studio recordings often do not.

[@phatmandee]

Amazing. Truly amazing. I just recorded with Mr Roger Humphries, seeing him so young here... wow. Such a gorgeous recording too. Thank you for sharing.

[@RutherfordNJDrywallRepair]

found Joe Henderson following Lee Morgan, never knew how sweet the find would be, this man has music flowing through his veins , I don't think he ever repeats the same phrase twice, just streams of musical sweetness that never end, ANOTHER LEVEL!!!

[@bustabass9025]

Joe Henderson was a Blue Note/Van Gelder studios stalwart in the 60s/70s. His tenor work on such original jazz standards as Herbie's Maiden Voyage, Kenny Durham's Blue Bossa, and others too numerous to mention here, is legendary. As a bandleader he also commanded the respect of his many Blue Note stablemates, who recorded with him as part of his ensembles. One such stablemate was the undisputed Prince of Blue Note, the late Mr. Lee Morgan. They will forever be inextricably linked to the classic Morgan masterpiece, The Sidewinder. Yours indeed was a valuable find! Keep searching...there are many such artistic jazz treasures yet to be discovered. Trust me!🎷🎺🎹

[@michaelEvans-zo4lt]

It's George Coleman on sax on Maiden Voyage, but I agree Joe Henderson was a great musician and one of my favorites when I first got into the music. Love the video. At first I thought it was man Clifford Jordan and that is why I had to check it out.

[@jzzft11]

Joe Henderson's playing is embodied by his uniquely perfect blend of intellect and emotion.

[@slimdugger99]

I think that it’s Bennie Maupin on Tenor not Joe.

[@jzzft11]

@Lance Dugger nope, it's Joe. Saw them both live dozens of times. Very young Joe. Bennie got with Horace after Joe - late 60's. Joe was w/ Horace early to mid 60's. Two great tenor players.

[@slimdugger99]

@@jzzft11 Did you see him play with Maupin? I didn’t see him with either but was struck by how much Henderson and Maupin look alike. Their playing styles early in their careers are also very similar. They should list personal in these videos as the list changed from date to date. Using my ears, I hear Henderson but my eyes can’t tell the difference.

[@jzzft11]

@Lance Dugger yes when I first started following Horace live, his band was w/Bennie, Randy Brecker on trumpet and Billy Cobham on drums. Joe was already out on his own as a leader by then. Most of my friends were following the good rock bands of the era - Hendrix, the Who, the Airplane etc. Woodstock generation. Horace was MY rock and roll lol. Always used to say there woulda been a lot more jazz fans if they heard Horace. Check out Serenade to a Soul Sister or You Gotta Take A Little Love on Blue Note for a taste of that era.

[@slimdugger99]
