this was actually just uploaded on dime on sunday (thanks, ‘cosmicchucky’), and i just listened to it and absolutely looooved it & just had to share it here (and around time!  been a busy november for me).  then i read the notes:  john hicks and junior cook?  not to mention the vocals.  and tex allen himself (with whom i was unfamiliar  wow!).  now we’re cooking with gas, yeah

all packed up, just waiting to fly out on monday.  meanwhile, i downloaded the 3rd of three consecutive nights of the horace silver quintet, from 1976.  two nights at the umbria jazzfest, after which the quintet decamped for juan-les-pins.

in a bit of serendipity that i’d not noticed before, a song missing from the 20th  is included with the show from the 21st.

one other thing: the info files aren’t always right, but in comments on dime, the seeders confirmed that the dates are all in 1976.  not 1977 or 1986.

so enjoy a mini “horace silver fest” as i wing my way westward.
