Album Notes & Community Reviews

The second installment of the legendary 1955 club recordings continues to showcase Art Blakey and Horace Silver forging the robust, blues-driven language of hard bop. The fiercely energetic quintet swings with heavy, driving syncopation that stood in stark contrast to the cooler jazz trends dominating the West Coast at the time.
