Two Jazz Legends combine their tallents for 29 minutes of greatness. This is way too short, but way too good to miss! McCoy Tyner & Michael Breaker together, enough said right there.

I think I downloaded this from a blog called Jazz Boot Experiment. Jazz Boot Experiment is another great outlet for unreleased Jazz recordings in MP3 form. If you like Jazz do yourself a favor and check out this blog.

justdave notes:
I downloaded this recording from the bernie's bootlegs and more YouTube channel in MPEG-4 video format. The recording did not have video just audio, I used Goldwave to convert the MPEG-4 into a 16bit wave. Goldwave was also used to edit track marks. I then used Traders Little Helper to encode the audio to MP3 320kbps.

bernie's bootlegs and more original upload notes:
Here's some great music from The Horace Silver Quintet recorded in 1973 at Boston and Pori, Finland. I had Previously posted tracks 01-03 and realized afterwards I had an additional show with the exact same lineup recorded a few weeks later in Pori, Finland. I believe these two shows make up the 2 complete sets of Horace's "In Pursuit of the 27th Man" tour. Both feature Randy & Michael Brecker and some nice solo's with the Jazz Legend himself. Taken from FM Broadcasts (without DJ talk) and complete with stage conversation. Many thanks to Carville for the Boston set. Enjoy this 40 Year Old fine set of Silver
