In the latter part of 1957 I had just completed my Army Basic Training at Fort Riley, Kansas. The group I was in that completed training were granted a leave. A friend and I took the train to Chicago . My friend lived in Chicago, and I decided to stay overnight before heading home to Detroit the next day.

Somehow I discovered that The Horace Silver Quintet had a gig at the Sutherland lounge in Chicago. So I convinced my friend to join me to go hear Horace and his quintet. It was a marvelous evening of outstanding music. To the best of my recollection, that was the only time I had the opportunity to hear The Horace Silver Quintet. Though it was over 60 years ago, it is a memory I cherish.

Great story!  Thanks for sharing that, Peter.

This is a 1975 album on Musidisc with material from 1944-1945 called Super Count Basie.  Never heard this before.  Sound is goodish and some pretty great playing.  Stream or download flac.

Side one with Red Garland on piano, yeah. 

There was another Bird album curiously issued on BN, from about the same time, but with a less interesting rhythm section, I think I gave it only one listening....

From the "new" George Lewis to the "old" George Lewis (both absurdly mixed up in Spotify).

How are the vocals?

This is a really strong big-band date.  I plan on checking out more of his music.

Pre-Blue Note Jackie McLean frequently has a Soulful Rough and Tumble quality that I find highly appealing. Bill Hardman is another of my favorites. Along with Freddie Hubbard and Lee Morgan, Hardman is at the top of the Hard Bop class among trumpet players of his generation.

This album along with the other pre-Blue Note Art Blakey sessions has a warm place on my listening agenda.
