One of Horace Silver's best groups was the early seventies quintet with Michael and Randy Brecker, which is introduced on three tunes from this album including Silver's classic "Gregory Is Here", written to celebrate the birth of his son.
What also distinguishes this album is the unusual context (for Silver) of the remaining four tunes including Maocir Santos' "Kathy". These quartet pieces feature vibist David Friedman in place of any horns. This is the first appearance of this album on CD. |
