Of the four Silver albums here, all classics of the Silver oeuvre, Horace Silver & The Jazz Messengers, Horace-Scope, The Tokyo Blues are well enough known and have appeared on CD and vinyl several times over the years. But with Horace Silver Trio's New Faces New Sounds, originally the 10-inch Blue Note BN-LP-5018, we are in hen's teeth territory since its only been reissued fleetingly in Japan (twice) in the 1990s. The Jazz Messengers sides were effectively a showcase for Silver's catchy and thus memorable compositions with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers and include ‘The Preacher’, ‘Doodlin’’, ‘Room 608’ and ‘Creepin’ In’, all of which went on to enjoy lives of their own at the hands of others. Horace-Scope and Tokyo Blues benefit from the frontline of Blue Mitchell on trumpet and Junior Cook on tenor sax, who interpret Silver's charts with audible joy. For me, the sides with this duo represent the very best of Silver's large discography (he was Blue Note's longest serving signing). This is a wonderful Silver primer for those not too familiar with his work, and Silver completists should check out the 1952 trio sides.
