Now with two albums---one features slower tempos! This set is a
challenger but is worth your every effort. With this set and Volumes 17
and 86, a total of 29 Horace Silver songs are at your disposal. Ron
Carter and Al Foster have made numerous recordings with Horace Silver
and know his music well. The tempos on the first (the original) album
are faster and provide the type of workout that any aspiring musician
should welcome. The tremendous feel of the first class rhythm section
lifts your playing to new levels, making even the most difficult tunes
manageable. The second (new) album includes all of the tracks on the
first album at slower practice tempos---including slow and medium
versions of Nica's Dream" and "Room 608," allowing you to build up to
the faster tempos. Recorded the same day as Volume 17. Rhythm Section:
Kenny Barron (p); Ron Carter (b); Ben Riley (d). Titles: Strollin' *
Ecaroh * Mayreh * Room 608 * Barbara * Nica's Dream * Quicksilver
* Summer in Central Park."
