Finger Poppin ReviewThis was the first record cut by Silver's famous Blue Mitchell/Junior Cook quintet. It features 8 originals from Horace, which probably aren't his most memorable compositions but are excellent vehicles for showcasing the band. The rhythm section takes off like a rocket from the opening notes of the first cut and you know you're in for a treat. Young Louis Hayes is a loud, flashy drummer somewhat similar to Philly Joe Jones, and Silver is in a swaggering mood with his lightning-fast, funky piano riffs. The exciting interplay between horns and rhythm section reminds me of the "Milestones" LP from Miles Davis, which Horace probably regarded as his competition.
It sounds like the musicians had played these tunes dozens of times before this date and pretty much knew what they wanted to say, and they probably did. Mitchell's solos in particular are almost too perfect. I don't think of him as a great ballad player, but he does a fine job delivering "You happened my way", one of two ballads on the album (and incidentally a very fine tune). This album has been out of print for awhile (I have the original transfer) so the re-release with the benefit of remastering is an event. If you like Blue Note recordings and don't have this record, you'll want to pick it up.Finger Poppin Overview
