I'm sure this was the band's theme, when I saw them in Cafe Bohemia in NYC in the late fifties. Hank Mobley blowing up a storm. "Cool Eyes" well named these guys epitomise cool.

Every one need some Silver arrangement just to feel great into learning some reading some music that is no crap. Silver was a great arranger.

One of my favorite Silver songs, with strong soloing all-round, and an infectious groove laid down by Watkins & Hayes!
