Although much of hard bop and the funky soul-jazz typical of Horace Silver's zenith in the 1950s and 1960s was formulaic, Silver's quintet represented the best of it. Funky, hard-driving rhythms met with endlessly addictive wailing horns and Silver's playful piano improvisations. While this particular gem does not sound "Japanese," like some of the other pieces from The Tokyo Blues, it's evocative of a mood and place.
