HMV Review

Horace-Scope is the third album by Horace Silver's classic quintet -- or most of it, actually, as drummer Louis Hayes was replaced by Roy Brooks starting with this session. The rhythmic drive and overall flavor of the group are still essentially the same, though, and Horace-Scope continues the tight, sophisticated-yet-swinging blueprint for hard bop pioneered on its two classic predecessors. The program is as appealing as ever, and even though not as many tunes caught on this time -- at least not on the level of a Juicy Lucy or Sister Sadie -- Silver's writing is tuneful and tasteful. The best-known selections are probably the lovely closing number Nica's Dream, which had been around for several years but hadn't yet been recorded on a Silver LP, and the genial, laid-back opener Strollin'. But really, every selection is full of soulful grooves and well-honed group interplay, the qualities that made this band perhaps the top hard bop outfit of the early '60s. Silver was in the midst of a hot streak that wouldn't let up for another few years, and Horace-Scope is another eminently satisfying effort from that period. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide

    う〜む・・・。評価のしづらいアルバムだ。個々の曲は好きなものもあるのだが。例えば、いきなりスローの@を持ってくるあたりは心憎いし良いナンバーだと思う。ただ、その後が緩急緩急と曲を並べているだけでまとまりがない。最後のFは名曲だが明らかに浮いている。Dもピアノトリオからクインテットに編曲したものだが、「Further Explorations」の「Safari」のような高揚感に欠ける。残りのナンバーも他のアルバムと比べると一歩譲る。まあホレスなら何でも!という向きには損はしないだろう。
