Title: Filled with Verve
Review: The tunes and arrangements on this album all are by Horace Silver, and all are engaging. He plays piano with a big sound, very often just chords. The band he assembled for this date could hardly be bettered. Michael Brecker and Randy Brecker team up to produce some luscious sounding but intricate duos, and Michael's solos are especially fine--harmonically inventive and technically thrilling. Ron Carter is his usual elegant and perceptive self, adding a grace note to the splendid ensemble. This is hard driving music that is not afraid to take a look at itself and smile. The sound engineering is brilliant, among the best I've ever heard on a jazz recording. I have no idea why this is out of print.
