Great setup.

How in the heck did Horace Silver lift that intro to Steely Dan's "Ricky don't loose that number" off the 1974  Pretzel Logic Album? 

I like my 1965 copy. It was an usual find-nearly perfect in a box very cheap, uninteresting LP's. It must have been overlooked by the staff.


Hi @tablejockey ,

I think the first edition of The Horace Silver ‎Song For My Father sounds best.
I bought mine on eBay. But the needle was jumped on the first track. So, the seller refunded me.
Yes I just listened  RIKKI DON'T LOSE THAT NUMBER on YouTube - nice song.

Regards,
Alex.

Lucky for you the seller refunded your purchase. Song for my Father is a fantastic album. IMO a  "must have" for any Jazz collection.

Looks like you're not too familiar with Steely Dan? Donald Fagan was a big Jazz fan. That intro was their tribute to the great Horace Silver. Their 1st 3-4 albums are what to seek out.

Bill Evans’ album is much more revealing than others. Anyway, Bill Evans’ Waltz for Debby is one of the best live Jazz recording IMHO.
