...Tokyo Blues (The Horace Silver Quintet; Blue Note) is a fascinating marriage of Latin rhythms to Oriental melodies, presided over by the lingering blues sound of Silver's piano. Gene Taylor's bass solos are the best expression of this trans-Pacific bossa nova, and Junior Cook on tenor sax makes the trip seem pleasant and short...
Make Someone Happy (Moodsville) blends the lyric charm of Coleman Hawkins' ancient saxophone with an almost perfect rhythm section: Tommy Flanagan, piano; Major Holey, bass; and Eddie Locke, drums. The result is indeed happy, proving, as it does, that The Hawk is still a master of the mellow, a professor of the placid...

The oldest regular is Papa John Joseph, 85, who still plays a mean bass and is a veteran of the old Kid Ory and King Oliver Creole jazz bands. Papa plays in the company of such old regulars as Trumpeter Punch Miller, 68, and Clarinetist George Lewis, 62. Lewis is among the few jazz pioneers still living. The clarinet on which he composed...
