The Horace Silver Sextet "Cape Verdean Blues"

 


Another cool track shared by Bret "Jazz Video Guy" Primack, with the Horace Silver Sextet.  This is "Cape Verdean Blues" from their concert at Jazz Fest in Berlin, West Germany, in 1987.  The band lineup features Horace Silver on piano, Brian Bromberg on acoustic double bass (upright bass), Carl Burnett on drums, and Andy Bey on vocals.  The tune really emphasizes Bey's distinctive vocals and the rhythm section, even though Silver's band also includes horns, with Dave Douglas on trumpet, and Vincent Herring on saxophones (alto and tenor), plus flute.  Do the samba Caribbean and dig this song!
