IF YOU LIKE
A landmark Horace Silver album for Blue Note, blending politically-charged soul jazz with vocals by Andy Bey and Jackie Verdell. Silver's electric piano work anchors a stellar lineup featuring Houston Person on tenor and Idris Muhammad on drums. The groove is infectious throughout—offbeat lines and soulful arrangements create something distinctly different from typical jazz vocal records. Volume 1 of Silver's United States Of Mind series, a commentary on the state of the nation. Essential listening.
