  James

  Silver's gift for memorable melodies and infectious grooves is on full display here. The tunes are concise, focused, and immediately engaging. Blue Mitchell and Junior Cook make ideal collaborators. The music draws equally from gospel, blues, and bebop traditions. Few pianists wrote harder-swinging material than Silver.
