If you’re drawn to the vibrant interplay found in ensembles like The Horace Silver Quintet or The Lee Morgan Quintet, this record fits comfortably in that company, offering a nuanced take on jazz’s expressive possibilities. This 1976 pressing brings the music to vinyl with a clean, glossy surface that shows only minor, faint marks typical for its age but nothing to hinder enjoyment. The record’s thoughtful composition and clear presentation make it a solid choice for those who prefer jazz that rewards close attention rather than background noise. As a side note, the album’s suite divisions might convince you that Horace Silver was thinking in movements before it was cool to do so on vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003csection data-track-listing=\"true\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTrack listing \u0026amp; samples\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHorace Silver - Silver 'N Wood\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart One \/ Keep On Gettin' Up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart Two \/ Slow Down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart Three \/ Time And Effort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart Four \/ Perserverance And Endurance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart One \/ Motivation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart Two \/ Activation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart Three \/ Assimilation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart Four \/ Creation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sample-embeds\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sample-embed\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2Jwu2PHq6r4\" allowfullscreen loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;min-height:152px;border:0;border-radius:12px;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sample-embed\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/7wYipHeTZIIGHZMb4ikhPz\" allow=\"encrypted-media\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;min-height:152px;border:0;border-radius:12px;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Den Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"VG++ \/ VG+ \/ 1976","offer_id":67952737288508,"sku":"DEN00001539","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/9932\/2684\/files\/Ni0xMjU0LmpwZWc.jpg?v=1793134273"}],"url":"https:\/\/shoptheden.com\/collections\/artist-horace-silver.oembed","provider":"The Den New Hope PA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
