Silver, Horace: Cape Verdean Blues
Title: Cape Verdean Blues
Label: Blue Note Records
Product Type: COMPACT DISCS
The Cape Verdean Blues (1965) Horace Silver Quintet with J.J. Johnson, Horace Silver turned to his unique heritage for inspiration on THE CAPE VERDEAN BLUES, a classic mid '60's Blue Note date from the master of funky Latin-tinged jazz. His father hailed from the Cape Verdean islands, and he had exposed his son to the beauty of his native music when the pianist was just a boy. Silver uses that spicy island flavor for several of BLUES' finger-popping tunes. As a bonus, trombone great J.J. Johnson augments Silver's quintet for the second half of the date, creating a staggering front line that also includes Woody Shaw and Joe Henderson.
Tracks:
1.1 Cape Verdean
1.2 African Queen
1.3 Pretty Eyes
1.4 Nutville
1.5 Bonita
1.6 Moe Joe
