Drive By Truckers- Brighter Than Creations' Dark
Some good stuff here!

Rush: I started thinking about one of your last posts and after looking at your list you played with your friends visiting;wow, what a eclectic list! I dearly love the Walton and John Shirley Quirk. You must have great friends. When ever I play my English cathedral music for my friends;they just roll their eyes.

I hope we can meet up some day

Horace Silver Quintet - "Silver's Serenade" [Blue Note LP reissue '63/'7?] Overall I'm preferring this to the RVG CD I also have on hand, primarily for its openess, texture, and more involving sense of communication (though I find my cartridge does rise inaccurately the top octaves), but how much of that preference is attributable to my gear, how much to the remastering, and how much to format I can't say -- something I believe is almost always true in these comparisons

Horace Silver - "Sterling Silver" [Blue Note LP compilation '79, rec. '56-'64] Unissued + alternate takes + 45rpm versions previously unavailable on LP, all but one are Quintet, most or all of which have since been appended to CD reissues as bonus tracks, a few of which I also have, and again I'm preferring the LP

Horace Silver - "The Trio Sides" [Blue Note mono/stereo 2LP compilation '76, rec. '52-'68] Great collection of Horace without the usual 2-horn frontline he helped popularize, and so really showcases his piano
