The pianist Horace Silver is considered the man who introduced the so-called “funky” style of playing into jazz. On his hard bop album “Blowin' The Blues Away”, released in 1959, which he recorded together with Blue Mitchell (trumpet), Junior Cook (saxophone), Eugene Taylor (bass) and Louis Hayes (drums), he provides some prime examples of this. This album is also a classic because Silver presented two of his most well-known pieces on it for the first time: the wonderful ballad “Peace” and the gospel-inspired number “Sister Sadie”. In the ninth edition of the “Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings”, the album “Blowin' The Blues Away” was included in the recommended “Core Collection” of the most important recordings and cited as an example of Silver's “virtues as a pianist, composer and bandleader”. The album recordings for Blue Note took place on August 29 and 30 and September 13, 1959 at the Rudy Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey.

As part of the extremely popular “Blue Note 85th Anniversary Reissue Series”, Universal Music Japan presents the sonically impressive remastering of this jazz classic by the legendary Kevin Gray, who is also responsible for the analog reissues of Blue Note US such as “Tone Poet” and “Classic Vinyl” – as a limited-edition, high-resolution SHM-SACD version (192 kHz/24 bit, Single-Layer).

This title is an SHM SACD. This format is the further development of the single-layer SACD and uses a particularly light-transparent plastic (Super High Material). It allows a much better readability of the pit-land structures on the surface than is possible with hybrid SACDs. Universal's SHM SACDs are generally re-digitized to DSD from the albums' master tapes without any changes. SHM SACDs can be played on any SACD player. Please do not use L'Art du Son or alcohol-based cleaning agents. - Please note: All titles are designed by Universal Music as limited edition collector's items for the Japanese market.
