This engagement was the inaugural event for Silver's new quintet.

Before the new quintet began performing publicly, they rehearsed for one week--sometime in late May. However, another DB [16 December 1964 (vol. 32 no. 26), p.18] indicates that, "A new Silver quintet made its debut in June..."These rehearsals were during the day at Lynn Oliver's Studios (consequently the same place that Blue Note booked rehearsal space for recording projects). A DB issue [18 June 1964 (vol.31 no. 14)] covers one of the rehearsals of the new Silver quintet [p.20], on a"Thursday about 2 p.m. and the men were in the middle of their daily 1-4p.m. rehearsal." At the conclusion of this week they "were going ...to open at Crawford's Grill...[in Pittsburgh]." (This debut gig(s) probably took place during the Friday or Saturday afternoon matinee that the grill sponsored--see below.)

DB: 16 July 1964 (vol. 31 no. 21), p.49 reported that,

Friday and Saturday afternoon matinees at Crawford's Grill have become quite the thing with well attended sessions for Horace Silver...Pittsburghers [sic] Joe Henderson, tenor saxophone, and drummer Roger Humphries are in the Silver quintet, and the college crowd seemed to dig trumpeter Carmell Jones.

Trumpeter Kenny Dorham's quintet with Joe Henderson on tenor saxophone took part in a 'Modern Dance and Jazz Concert' benefit for CORE at Hunter College in late June. Choreography was by Ron Davis and Lester Wilson; compositions of Cannonball Adderley, Oliver Nelson and Mary Lou Williams were played...[DB: 13 August 1964 vol. 31 no. 23, "Strictly ad Lib"].

This live performance at Pep's of the Horace Silver Quintet has never been released. These titles were recorded during afternoon and night sets. Four master numbers were arbitrarily assigned:

1413 - The Natives Are Restless Tonight
1414 - Que Pasa
1415 - Pretty Eyes
1416 - The Kicker

Further titles from these performances were not recorded (Notes taken from The Blue Note Discography).

Horace Silver's quintet performed at the Saturday evening concert of the Monterey Jazz Festival, CA. DB 10 September 1964 (vol. 31 no. 25), p.43 reports that Horace Silver and Bud Powell shared the bill at Birdland through 9/20. This does not seem likely since the quintet was in CA during this time.

The quintet was reviewed in DB: 8 October 1964 (vol. 31, no. 27), p.21; Jazz: January 1965 (vol. 4, no. 1).

Only a few days into this gig, Henderson quit the band on April 2, 1966:

"In a surprise mood, tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson abruptly quit the Horace Silver Quintet in the midst of the group's performance before a Saturday night crowd at San Francisco's Jazz Workshop on April 2. Silver told Down Beat that the tenorist's reported reason for leaving was that drummer Roger Humphries' playing 'was thwarting his solos.'... The pianist, who said he did not intend to bring union charges against Henderson, indicated he would add a new sideman upon returning to New York City. Silver said he had no intimation Henderson was planning to leave, though the tenor saxophonist had asked the leader for a three-month leave of absence to form a recording group some months earlier. At that time, Silver refused on the grounds that by the time a replacement was taught the group's library, Henderson would be due to return. Asked then if he wished to leave, Henderson elected to remain." [DB: 19 May 1966 (vol. 33 no. 10), p.14]
