| Jazz for aficionados Horace Silver, minus The Blues, Funk and Eastern Tinge, equals: Horace Silver -- THE HARDBOP GRANDPOPThis is not my favorite track, but they do 'quote' O-10's favorite song at 3:57. A first in Jazz I believe. And mercifully, also the last.https:... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Herbie Hancock's BUTTERFLY:A host of 'young lions'. I enjoyed it. Hancock saved the set. Why he felt the need to involve that electronic gizmo is beyond me. It didn't add anything. The guy is brilliant on piano.I was about to post Marcus M... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Dave Holland:Not that much into Bass players, but I do have a few with Holland as co-leader and sideman. He has appeared on some big time recordings. I am sure he is on more stuff I own. I like them all, except 'Bitches Brew', of course.Hank J... | |
| Jazz for aficionados *****First of all, it was all about the rhythm with Silver and he often played percussively (like a drummer) *****Would this be a good example of playing like a drummer? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmO2pM20MrU&ebc=ANyPxKqDoThFhgXFewH86jU... | |
