Blowin' The Blues Away (Rudy Van Gelder Edition) (1959)

Tweede opname, uit 1959, van 't klassieke kwintet rond de pianist, met Blue Mitchell (t) en Junior Cook (ts). Van dit album komen de tot standards uitgegroeide stukken 'Sister Sadie' en 'Peace'. Uit de 'Rudy van Gelder Edition'-remasterserie. "One of Horace Silver's all-time Blue Note classics. Through it all, Silver remains continually conscious of the groove, playing off the basic rhythms to create funky new time patterns. The typical high-impact economy of his and the rest of the band's statements is at its uppermost level, and everyone swings with exuberant commitment. In short, "Blowin' the Blues Away" is one of Silver's finest albums, and it's virtually impossible to dislike." (Steve Huey, Allmusic)
