Horace Silver is an excellent accompanist. Driving and catchy.

Be-bop is a style. You can play CRAZY TRAIN in the be-bop style.
It's not designated to only certain tunes, It's HOW you play the tune.

That lick at 3:07 was madness on tenor, pure madness.

Like someone else said, this is classic; classic is my favorite, and I love these guys.😍

'A classic be-bop tune'. The tune is actually by Gershwin, and this version is after bebop. So hardbop, cool jazz or postbop (although that didn't really happen until 1959).

The picture is mistaken, the original recording was not from this album

No one has the the guts, melodic sense, or restraint to play like this anymore ... What a shame ...

[saxmansoul]

I bet it's Kenny Clarke drms, Percy Heath bs, Horace Silver piano

The man Chet baker wanted his whole life to be and sound like . Miles 😁. This Trumpet 🎺 Sound. 👌. The real Piano without those lazy sustain pedal. What a sound!!

Miles was a great writer. Chet was a better soloist
