Vinyl LP pressing. Recorded in May 1963, Silver's Serenade was the last in a fantastic run of albums that pianist Horace Silver would make with the most celebrated line-up of his Quintet featuring Blue Mitchell on trumpet, Junior Cook on tenor saxophone, Gene Taylor on bass, and Roy Brooks on drums. The core of the band had been together since 1959 and recorded hard bop classics like Finger Poppin' and Blowin' the Blues Away, with Brooks joining in 1960 on Horace-Scope. The program on Silver's Serenade consists of five Silver tunes that epitomize his exceptional compositional style captivating melodies, sophisticated harmonies, and intricate rhythmic inventions with a soulful and unerring sense of swing at the core. From the relaxed groove of the opening title track to the hard-charging finale InchNineteen BarsInch the Quintet delivers their swan song with style. Album Tracks 1. Silver's Serenade 2. Let's Get to the Nitty Gritty 1. Sweet Sweetie Dee 2. The Dragon Lady 3. Nineteen Bars

Island 50th Anniversary Special Edition. There are few musicians whose music has indisputably advanced humanity. Reggae figurehead Bob Marley--a songwriter, poet, activist, and visionary--is one of them. The idea that a single-disc collection could represent the depth, breadth, and power of Marley's achievement is far-fetched, but LEGEND makes an excellent attempt. Every single one of its tracks is outstanding, and the artist's different faces--revolutionary (InchGet Up Stand UpInch), romantic (InchIs This LoveInch), devout Rastafarian (InchBuffalo SoldierInch), and prophet (InchOne Love/People Get ReadyInch) are equally represented.In addition to his moving message of love and unity, Marley is a master songwriter, as the timelessness of songs like InchStir It Up,Inch InchI Shot the Sheriff,Inch and the gorgeous, poignant InchRedemption SongInch proves. Of course, a true sampling of Marley's output would require some early ska material, the Wailer's debut (CATCH A FIRE), the definitive NATTY DREAD, and his later-period opus EXODUS, but LEGEND provides a highly satisfying, if brief, overview of Marley's genius. A record well suited to any location, season, or time of day, it has proven universal in its appeal. The music herein is as essential as air. (Note The Deluxe Edition CD includes two bonus tracks and an additional disc of remixes.) Album Tracks 1. Is This Love 2. No Woman, No Cry 3. Could You Be Loved 4. Three Little Birds 5. Buffalo Soldier 6. Get Up Stand Up 7. Stir It Up 1. One Love/People Get Ready 2. I Shot the Sheriff 3. Waiting in Vain 4. Redemption Song 5. Satisfy My Soul 6. Exodus 7. Jamming
