SILVER, HORACE - QUINTET - - Doin' The Thing (Sealed) (LP)

180 gm LP vinyl. This live set (recorded at the Village Gate) finds pianist/composer Horace Silver and his most acclaimed quintet (the one with trumpeter Blue Mitchell, tenor saxophonist Junior Cook, bassist Gene Taylor and drummer Roy Brooks) stretching out on four selections, including 'Filthy McNasty'. Although it was recorded in 1961, this recording has the power to transport one back in time to the smoky room at Village Gate where one feels the raw energy of the live performance. It brings the Quintet into a highly explosive and velocity-driven standard in world class which makes this brilliant classic album quite a spellbinding hit. Side A: 1. Filthy McNasty 09:09 2. Doin' The Thing 10:33 Side B: 1. Kiss Me Right 8:56 2. The Gringo - The Theme: Cool Eyes 10:26.
