Blue Monday
-
Artist:
Tonight features piano veteran Horace Silver, recorded in Englewood Clifs, New Jersey, in October 1965, with a track released on Blue Note. Woody Shaw is on trumpet, and Joe Henderson's on tenor sax here. The melody is of Portuguese extraction apparently, and the rhythm Brazilian, hence its title referencing the Portuguese stopping point midway across the Atlantic.

Sounds more like "Holiday in the Cape Verde Islands."
It's catchy, lively, effervescent. Somehow I've never noticed a pianist play call-and-response between his two hands before. Good choice!
