Dee Dee Bridgewater performs 13 of Horace Silver's songs on her very well-conceived release. On most selections she is accompanied by her French quintet, but there are also two guest appearances apiece for organist
Jimmy Smith and pianist
Silver ("Nice's Dream" and "Song for My Father").
Bridgewater uplifts
Silver's lyrics, proves to be in prime form, and swings up a storm. Other high points include "Filthy McNasty," "Doodlin'," and "Blowin' the Blues Away." A gem. ~ Scott Yanow
