Horace Silver with The Jazz Messengers

Listening tonight to Columbia CL 897, The Jazz Messegers, with Byrd, Mobley, Silver, Watkins, and Blakey.

Thoughts:

• Byrd's trumput has a lovely sound. Also love the piano sound from Silver -- always loved that on this album. 
• Also: Never realized how much (especially early) Wynton Marsalis was influenced by Blakey. I know that's not news, and it's hardly surprising, but I just noticed it.

Generally, great mono sound, but some break-up in the right channel on It's You or No One: Is that inner-groove distortion or a worn LP?
