horace silver quintet – 4 short shows, 1968-1973, various locations

in a bit of a horace silver mood today, and was listening first to a july 1988 show in essen, germany, and then to this nice little compilation of four (no doubt only partial) shows from various times & places.  when he posted it on dime in 2010, jazamo noted that “horace silver & randy brecker play on all songs, with either bennie maupin or michael brecker on sax”.  and billy cobham is on drums for 3 of the 4 shows.  so a nice lineup(s), i think, and very clean recordings from fm broadcasts.
