This footage of the Horace Silver Quintet playing their signature tune, "Cool Eyes" was filmed in 1958 during a broadcast for the Dutch radio company KRO. Pianist Horace Silver together with trumpeter Blue Mitchell, tenor saxophonist Junior Cook, bassist Gene Tailor, and drummer Louis Hayes play their new style of hard bop with great flair and skill. The instrumentation of his quintet (trumpet, tenor sax, piano, double bass, and drums) served as a model for small jazz groups from the mid-1950's until the late 1960's.
