This Sunday Music Muse Day, I'd like to present toe legendary and highly regarded jazz veterans,w ho need no introduction. First Horace Silver Silver's Serenade, This remastered Blue Note CD release of the original session recorded at the Rudy Van Gelder Studio, on May 7 & 8, 1963. The classic jazz sounds as toe-tapping fresh as if it was recorded yesterday.
Next is Charlie Byrd Latin Byrd. Like the Silver CD, this is a reissue of two sessions from May, 1962, and April 1963. The music was released on two Riverside Records albums, "Latin Impressions " and "Once More! Charlie Byrd's Bossa Nova". Two notes highlighted in the liner notes, one, Charlie Byrd, along with Chet Atkins, was featured in the first issue of Guitar Player's Magazine. I had subscription to it for many years. Secondly, it's noted in that Byrd plays his nylon-string Jose Ramirez guitar "unamplified", unusual in era of growing electrification for recording guitar music. I like finding these little musical culture tidbits.
So, again, I hope this weekend find everyone in good spirits. Peace.
