Condition: Brand new in open style protective cover with 3-inch tape sealing the top right in the middle.  See Pics. Horace Scope is a solid album that again features the fine tandem of Junior Cook's tenor and Blue Mitchell's trumpet who, by now, found their interplay becoming second-nature, almost telepathic. Other Silver regulars Gene Taylor and Ray Brooks handle bass lines and drum fills, respectively. Arrangements are spot-on, tight in the pocket and surprisingly ultra-soulful in the solo turns. It's easy to think the highlight of this album to be Silver's first attempt of his own "Nica's Dream", which had been debuted by Art Blakey three years prior, and it just might be. But equally intoxicating are the takes on "Strollin'", "Without You" and the title tune, all of which Silver and Co. make totally their own. 200 gram MONO recording.
