Blowin The Blues Away (2023 Reissue) - Horace Silver (Vinyl) (AE)

This is a 2023 reissue vinyl LP pressing of Blowin' The Blues Away by Horace Silver. The American jazz composer and pianist originally released this album in November 1959, via Blue Note Records. Produced by Alfred Lion, the album was recorded at Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliff. The Horace Silver Quintet was a hard-bop juggernaut featuring the pianist with trumpeter Blue Mitchell, saxophonist Junior Cook, bassist Gene Taylor and drummer Louis Hayes. 

Silver was among the most influential jazz musicians of his lifetime. Silver's legacy as a composer may be greater than as a pianist, because his works, many of which are jazz standards, continue to be performed and recorded worldwide.
