Pianist Horace Silver is considered the man who introduced the style of playing known as “funky” to jazz. And on his hardbop album “Blowin’ The Blues Away,” recorded in 1959, he provides some prime examples of this. This album is also a classic because Silver presented two of his still most famous pieces for the first time on it: the wonderful ballad “Peace” and the gospel-like number “Sister Sadie”.
