After putting much of his energy into co-leading the pioneering \u003cstrong\u003eJazz Messengers\u003c\/strong\u003e with drummer \u003cstrong\u003eArt Blakey\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eSilver\u003c\/strong\u003e moved on with fellow Messengers \u003cstrong\u003eHank Mobley\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eDonald Byrd\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eDoug Watkins\u003c\/strong\u003e to form a new quintet, while \u003cstrong\u003eBlakey\u003c\/strong\u003e continued with the Messengers name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe music here is still firmly rooted in the hard bop sound that \u003cstrong\u003eSilver\u003c\/strong\u003e helped shape, but this period also finds him sharpening his voice as a composer and pianist. You can hear that especially clearly on stand-out cuts like \u003cem\u003eSeñor Blues\u003c\/em\u003e, as his distinctive piano style starts to lock into the sound that would go on to influence generations of jazz players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith the exception of \u003cem\u003eFor Heaven's Sake\u003c\/em\u003e, every track on the album is an original composition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Doxy","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50437314707787,"sku":"1038046","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/a76133ed-ebed-4452-bfe7-e5f5f370456e_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726929405","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/6-pieces-of-silver","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
